About Us


flexlab-homepage-

Flexible Systems Laboratory was established at ITU Mechanical Engineering Faculty in Gümüşsuyu Campus in 2019. The main focus of the lab is to develop solutions for smart, flexible, and soft robotic systems. We focus on design, development, characterization and application of embedded and wearable sensors in various fields particularly medical applications, fabrication of flexible, foldable and stretchable structures, motion control of robotic systems, 3D printing, and modeling of flexible structures.

Field of Work:

  • Development of soft and flexible robotic systems
  • Foldable, origami-based mechanism design
  • Mechatronic system design and integration
  • Polymeric and textile-based wearable sensor design, development and characterization
  • 3D Printing technologies
  • Flexible (compliant) mechanism modeling
  • Machine learning applications
  • Control applications
