This wormlike robot is the result of a transatlantic @BioinspiredPire collaboration funded by @snsf_ch @NSF. Kudos to @CaseEngineer students Austin Mills and Shane Riddle and our own @LiviusMuff for amazing design and ingenious realization. Paper just out: bit.ly/AMI_worm



Soft, flexible sections give these earthworm robots an edge. They have an advantage in environments where wheels pose an issue, such as pipes or tunnels. @MerkleInstitute @CaseEngineer @BioinspiredPire @LiviusMuff @WederChristoph @AMI_PolyChemMat 👉ow.ly/goqS50N9mFJ











The new @LeicaMicro Stellaris 5 confocal #microscope is now up and running in its basement lair @MerkleInstitute. Thanks to @NCCRbioinspired and @unifrChemistry who helped co-finance the purchase of this instrument!
