1/7 Excited to share my last publication at @SciRobotics using soft matter physics principles to combine soft, modular, and swarm robotics. We address the challenge of designing robotic systems capable of changing their shape and flexibility to adapt to various environments.

I had a great time discussing with @balazskegl and answering great questions by @drmichaellevin around embodied intelligence and self-organization in robotics!
Balázs Kégl@balazskegl

Fascinating conversation with @B_Saintyves , starting with an intro of soft and swarm robotics and his work on designing Granulobots, self organizing aggregates of small wheels with magnets and a simple motor. We then dive deep into a deep dialogical out-loud thinking about self-organization, self-coordination, synchronization, and emergence. We are both at the edge of what we know, dancing around and with these fascinating subjects. At around the hour mark, I ask @drmichaellevin's three questions: 1) Any surprising system-level behavior? (yes!!) 2) Any way to control the system at the top level? (hard to say but Baudouin really riffs off this) 3) How does the world look like for a Granulobot? (fascinating :) ). The last half an hour is Baudouin's amazing journey, triangulating between art, science, and engineering, a perfect illustration of the perspectival philosophy of science that we discussed with @yoginho in my upcoming next episode. Watch it, and please give it thumbs and sign up at the YouTube channel if you like it, it's a small gesture that could help these sober conversations about AI and science reach more people. youtube.com/watch?v=NmvzEp…

@balazskegl @bdanubius Happy to chat about it anytime ! Simplicity is central here, and encompass a physicist approach to control. summed up in the question: How far can we get in complex and cybernetic-like aggregate behaviors (through mechanical feedback) with robots that just have a single actuator?

A self-organizing robotic aggregate using solid and liquid-like collective states by @B_Saintyves Spenko and Jaeger. Collective behavior in drone swarms is cool, but generating physically assembling collective systems is an emerging frontier twitter.com/B_Saintyves/st…

7/7 Aggregates can “flow” over obstacles, and self-coordinate to slide on slippery surfaces, or crawl and roll on anti-slip grounds, without wireless communication between robots.

6/7 Instead, they achieve this solely through mechanical interactions, whereas their tunable material-like properties allow them to adapt to different environmental conditions.

My work "Evaporation-Driven Cellular Patterns in Confined Hyperelastic Hydrogels" just got published in @PhysRevLett. After preliminary observations while @Mahadevan_Lab @hseas, we uncovered with Bischofberger's lab @MITMechE some of the mystery behind these mesmerizing patterns.
