Soft Bidirectional Nitinol Actuator for Robotic Catheters 

 Designed and fabricated a catheter-scale soft actuator that achieves bidirectional bending from a single thermally controlled Nitinol wire, replacing the usual antagonistic-wire architecture with a simpler, lower complexity mechanism. 

Soft Robotic Catheter with Independent Bending and Torsion 

 Developed a 3 mm diameter fully soft robotic catheter tip that combined independent hydraulic bending and torsion to improve branch access and local tip control without relying on base shaft rotation.
