Robert’s TED Talk on the topic of future silent machines powered by muscles is now online!
The talk at TED2022 has been released on TED.com on Tuesday, November 8, 2022.
Paper released in Advance Intelligence Systems
How can soft continuum arms be applied to real-world tasks that require accuracy at the fingertip like drawing, or dynamic actions like throwing? Find out in this paper where we apply force-based operational space control to soft robots.
Our collaborative work on "Hydroelastomers" has been published in Soft Matter!
Hydroelastomers are a new class of soft, tough, and highly swelling composite materials that allow the devolopment of osmotic pressure responsive soft robotic actuators.
Soft Robotics Lab receives Amazon Research Awards!
A specific soft gripper design can perform better for certain manipulation tasks. Can we co-optimize robotic gripper designs and their control policies for general manipulation tasks?
Our work on optimized swimmers and simulation accepted at ICML 2022
We are happy to announce that our most recent paper on learned multiphysics and differentiable simulation was accepted at ICML 2022!
