Check out our new paper in collaboration with @ImperialREDSLab and the SiMMS Research Group! @imperialcollege @ImperialRobots @ImperialDyson @ImperialSandC #Prosthetics #Robotics #ProstheticHands

What if you could replace the fingers of your prosthetic hand with customized tools? Researchers have developed a Swiss Army Knife-style prosthetic hand, leading to big improvements in task performance, body compensation, & task load for end users. bit.ly/3CJrEO4

Introducing Hydra! Our new hand able to change its grasping stiffness between compliant power and rigid precision w/o increased control or HW complexity. Check out the video below for details. Work led by PhD student Digby Chappell, to appear in RA-L! youtu.be/upLHX3POim0?si…

Congratulations to our runners-up👏: Jacopo Hu (@MIMLab_Robotics, @ImperialMechEng), Xin Zhou (@imperialeee), Ivan Kapelyukh & Norman Di Palo (@ICComputing), Zhenhua Yu (@ImperialDyson, @thrishlab), Francesco Cursi (@ICLHamlynRobots, @RobotIntelliLab )

Happy holidays from the Imperial Robotics Forum!🎄

Around this time every year I get this reward to see the sparks in these curious, creative, and ambitious minds. The @ImperialDyson masters students who take my Robotics Research Projects module spend a term in my lab making robots to test very ambitious questions.

Very proud of our ⁦⁦@ImperialDyson⁩ students who won this distinguished award at @iros2022

I am incredibly happy to announce that I am joining DeepMind Toronto as a Research Scientist 🎉🇨🇦 Working at @DeepMind on the team led by @VladMnih is a great honor for me. I can't wait to get started!

Throwback to the 1st meetup of the Robotics Forum Postgrad Network🎓🤖. A great turnout from all corners of Imperial College London. Many thanks to our speakers Thilina Lalitharatne @thrishlab @ImperialDyson & Digby Chappell @AI4HealthCentre @ICComputing!

Hearty congratulations to my PhD student Fabio Pardo @PardoFab for successfully passing his viva today! 🥳 Extremely grateful to the examiners Deepak Pathak @pathak2206 & Antoine Cully @CULLYAntoine @RobotIntelliLab @ImperialRobots @ImperialDyson @ImperialAI @imperialcollege

Last week was @ICORR_2022 #RehabWeek2022. Check out the recording of Digby's talk about our paper on instant calibration in myoelectric prosthetic hands using a highly data-efficient controller. @AI4HealthCentre @ImperialRobots @ImperialAI @ImperialDyson youtu.be/O_SNMl11OJY
