I’m Casper Muter, a mechanical engineer focused on medical devices, robotics, and hands-on product development. My work spans soft robotics, wearable sensing, optical instrumentation, automation, and electromechanical medical-device systems. I’m most interested in projects that bring together mechanical design, prototyping, testing, and iteration to turn early concepts into functional hardware.
Through research and industry experience, I’ve built a strong foundation in designing, fabricating, and refining real-world systems. I enjoy working close to the hardware, solving practical engineering problems, and improving designs through testing and feedback. This website highlights the projects that have shaped my career so far and the type of work I’m passionate about continuing.
I come from a first-generation background, with my family originally from Poland. That has shaped my perspective, work ethic, and appreciation for building opportunities through persistence and discipline.
Interests
I’m most interested in medical robotics, soft robotic systems, and wearable devices that physically interact with the human body. I’m drawn to the engineering challenges behind making these systems accurate, comfortable, reliable, and practical outside the lab. That includes integrating mechanical design and sensing, working through material and manufacturing constraints, and refining prototypes through hands-on testing. Long term, I want to help develop technologies that move beyond promising concepts and become useful products that improve patient care and quality of life.
Educational Background
I earned my Master’s in Robotics and Autonomous Systems from Boston University, where I worked in the Material Robotics Lab and Morphable Biorobotics Lab developing soft robotic systems for medical applications. Prior to that, I studied Electromechanical Engineering Technology at the University of Hartford, where I was part of the CETA Robotics group working on a quadruped robot and gaining experience in mechatronics and system integration.
Hobbies
Outside of engineering, I like staying active through weight training and sports, and I enjoy spending time outdoors, especially hiking and being in nature. I also like cooking (besides the cleaning part), traveling, and spending time with friends. A majority of my family is in Poland, where I spend time in the woods picking mushrooms and enjoying nature.
