Daniel's PhD defense
Congratulations, Dr. Wälchli, for passing successfully your PhD defense today!
Task-defined Pulley Design for Nonlinearly Coupled Tendon-driven Actuation
At RoboSoft 2024, we present our paper on a systematic methodology for designing pulleys that enable task-defined nonlinear coupling in tendon-driven actuators. The method achieves low tracking error in a tendon-driven finger, paving the way for efficient actuation in multi-degree-of-freedom robots. This work holds significant implications for advanced robotic hands, manipulators, and animatronics.
RoboSoft2024 Workshop: From Layers to Limbs! Exploring the Interface of 3D Printing and Bio-Inspired Musculoskeletal Robotics
We are organizing a workshop at RoboSoft 2024 in San Diego, CA, USA. Workshop investigates the integration of 3D printing technologies with the development of musculoskeletal robotic systems inspired by nature.
Exploring the Future of Robotics: Bio-Hybrids Workshop at IEEE RoboSoft 2024
We organize the “Bio-hybrids: when robots come alive” workshop at the IEEE RoboSoft 2024 conference in San Diego, CA. The workshop brings together pioneers in bio-hybrid robotics to explore the transformative potential of living materials in engineering intelligent machines. With keynote speakers and collaborative discussions, the event delves into cutting-edge advancements at the intersection of biology, materials science, and robotics, setting the stage for groundbreaking innovations.
