We’re thrilled to announce that Prof. Robert Katzschmann from the Soft Robotics Lab will be a featured speaker at Switzerland’s largest AI conference, the AI+X Summit 2024, taking place on October 3–4 at StageOne in Zürich.

On September 20, 2024, Professor Shoji Takeuchi from the University of Tokyo will present a talk titled “Biohybrid Robotics: Revolutionizing Robotics with Living Systems” as part of the RSC Distinguished Seminar and MaP Lecture Series on Engineering with Living Materials. Join us at HG G 5 at 16:15 to explore some groundbreaking advances in biohybrid robotics.

We are thrilled to announce that Asia Badolato has been awarded the “Best Rapid Fire Poster Presentation” at the SSB+RM2024 - 28th Annual Meeting in St. Gallen. Her winning poster, titled “Integration of Local Sensing Functionalities within Bioprinted Actuators,” was recognized for its innovative contribution to the field of complex materials and in vitro tissue models. Congratulations to Asia on this remarkable achievement!​

Researchers at ETH Zurich and the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems have developed a groundbreaking robotic leg powered by artificial muscles. Inspired by the natural movements of living organisms, this robotic leg is able to jump and walk across various terrains in a highly agile and energy-efficient manner.
