Congratulations to lab members and collaborators Saurabh Jadhav, Ramzi Majit, Ben Shih, and Prof. Jurgen Schulze on the appearance of their excellent work on variable stiffness devices based on the concept of fiber jamming in the journal Soft Robotics! liebertpub.com/doi/10.1089/so…

Congratulations to lab members Dylan Drotman, Saurabh Jadhav, David Sharp, and Christian Chan for the appearance of their excellent work on electronics-free soft legged robots on the cover of this month's issue of Science Robotics!

This electronics-free robot is controlled and powered by pressurized air: work from @BioinspiredUCSD in @SciRobotics: bit.ly/airwalker @miketolley @UCSDJacobs @ucsd_mae #softrobotics

.@ScienceMagazine spotlights work by @ucsd_mae researchers @benjshih & @miketolley in the @BioinspiredUCSD lab! They reviewed in @SciRobotics how smart skins and sensors could impact development for #softrobots. @UCSanDiego @UCSDnews @ResearchUCSD @UofCalifornia #robotics

What's it like to shelter in place at home with your experiments when they involve cockroaches? @GlennaClifton a postdoc in @ucsd_mae @ngravish's lab tells all to @NYTScience: nytimes.com/2020/04/21/sci… @UCSanDiego @UCSDnews @hiskov @cjgiaimo #biomimicry #entomology #COVID19

Electronic skins and machine learning for intelligent soft robots: a review led by @miketolley and @benjshih from @BioinspiredUCSD out today in @SciRobotics: bit.ly/ScienceRobotic… @ucsd_mae @hiskov #Robotics

Meet Jessica Sandoval: @UCSanDiego mechanical engineering PhD student, ROV pilot, & researcher on the @EVNautilus. Her research has led to a bioinspired suction cup, & an instrument to help @Scripps_Ocean detect microplastics. "It's all about exploration!" bit.ly/JessicaSandoval

Our review of e-skins & machine learning for soft robots has appeared in Science Robotics! Congratulations to lab PhD student @benjshih, and coauthors D. Shah, J. Li, T. Thuruthel, Y.-L. Park, F. Iida, Z. Bao, R. Kramer-Bottiglio and @miketolley robotics.sciencemag.org/content/5/41/e…

Great Jacobs School profile of Jess Sandoval, one of the lab's PhD students! youtu.be/fsSRoSaqqLY

@Scripps_Ocean @UCSanDiego @xprize @WHOI @WIRED The bot, built by @ClbChrstnsn & @BioinspiredUCSD, uses artificial muscles filled with water to propel itself like an eel. It's an important step toward soft robots swimming in the ocean alongside fish and invertebrates without disturbing them. Learn more: jacobsschool.ucsd.edu/news/news_rele…

Underwater robots including this eel-like soft robot, developed by @UCSanDiego & @UCSDJacobs, are helping scientists better understand the marine world. Scripps, @xprize, @WHOI & @WIRED will dive deeper into #oceanrobots during a panel March 10 at #SXSW. schedule.sxsw.com/2019/events/PP…
