Summary
👤
SeniorNaresh Thanigaivel is a Research and Development Lead and doctoral researcher specializing in computational, data-informed design for hybrid soft robotics, melding endo- and exoskeletal bioinspiration to create next-generation limbs, end-effectors, and locomotion systems. With a decade of cross-disciplinary experience spanning mechatronics, additive manufacturing, digital fabrication and biomimicry, he translates academic research into commercial products—most recently leading multi-material 3D printer development at Magic3D. His background includes driving advanced product innovation at Philips, where he applied design thinking and Six Sigma to bring disruptive demos and AM-enabled prototypes to market. A certified Biomimicry Practitioner, Naresh combines creative, user-centric design with computational workflows and embedded fiber strategies to program mechanical function into soft materials. He holds advanced degrees from SUTD, NUS and a European MSc in computational design, and is notable for bridging lab-scale soft-robotics innovations with scalable manufacturing approaches.
