Anany Dwivedi received a B.Tech in Electronics and Communication Engineering from the LNM Institute of Information Technology, Jaipur, India, in 2015 followed by a MS in 2017 in Robotics Engineering from Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), Worcester, MA, USA. As a Graduate Researcher in Soft Robotics Lab (http://softrobotics.wpi.edu), WPI, his research focused on Design and Fabrication of Soft Sensors. Currently, he is a Doctoral Candidate and member of the New Dexterity research group of the University of Auckland, New Zealand. He works on development of novel Muscle Machine Interfaces that improve the intuitiveness of the control of prosthetic and robotic devices to help individuals with motor or sensory impairments to regain their lost dexterity.
