Gursel’s lab studies how complex human-like motion can be created alongside sensors that allow the motion to be both strong and precise. This technology is valuable for the field of bionics as it builds some of the basic hardware that will allow for seamless human-machine interfaces.

Seamlessly 3D printed hands out of soft material allow strong gripping and individual finger control that is robust, high precision, fast, and can be made inexpensively. Devices like these are important for bionics as they allow complex range of motion in otherwise simple structures, giving the user of the bionic device many degrees of freedom important for autonomous movement.
