The Material Robotics Lab is celebrating the big news! Thrilled to share our first @NIH @NIBIBgov *R01* funded grant on #softrobotics and #surgicalrobotics for #lungcancer diagnosis & treatment! #newishPI #proudPI #myfirstR01

🧐Looking for a motivated #postdoc to join my lab working on #softrobotics and #surgicalrobotics for bronchoscopy 🫁 and brain surgery 🧠 applications ‼️ 🔗More info here: sites.bu.edu/mrl/opportunit…

@ProfZhaoMIT Thank you so much, Xuanhe!

@ProfSheilaRusso heartiest congratulations!

I’m deeply grateful to share that I’ve been granted tenure and promotion to Associate Professor. This journey has been full of learning, support, and growth. Thank you to everyone who helped me along the way! #Tenure #Gratitude #AcademicLife

Here is an overview video of our work: m.youtube.com/watch?v=4Lzjmh…

Check out our latest paper published in #IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters #RAL! We present a 2.5 mm soft robotic platform for closed-loop semi-autonomous navigation within bronchoscopy. ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/10937… #SoftRobotics #surgicalrobotics Funded by: @NIH @NIBIBgov

Excited to welcome Dr. Mustafa Mete to our lab as a new #postdoc! Mustafa will bring a wealth of expertise in the design and control of haptic interfaces and soft and origami robotics to our group. Looking forward to working with him!

So proud of my PhD student Arincheyan Gerald who did an amazing job defending his PhD thesis today! 🤩 Congratulations, Dr. Gerald! 👏 #PhD #SoftRobotics #SurgicalRobotics #Sensing #proudPI #milestone

Thrilled to welcome Dr. Ayhan Aktas to our lab as a new #postdoc! He brings excellent knowledge, skills, and a fresh perspective in design and manufacturing, sensing, and deep-learning based control algorithms for surgical robots to our group. Looking forward to working with him

Thrilled to see our work featured on the #cover of the February issue of the journal Soft Robotics! liebertpub.com/toc/soro/12/1 Thanks for highlighting our research @SoftRobotics_JN! #softrobotics #robot

We developed a fabrication strategy for millimeter-scale, self-sensing soft-rigid hybrid robots…SHY robots! ☺️ 🤖 shorturl.at/FuWbs Let’s push #SoftRobotics forward toward autonomous, adaptable robots for minimally invasive surgery, complex manufacturing, and beyond!

.@ProfSheilaRusso et al. from @BuMechE @BU_MSE report controllable, self-sensing soft-rigid hybrid robots. Translational, bending, and roto-translational modules are designed and assembled for real-time shape-sensing. #softrobotics #GettingApplied nature.com/articles/s4146…

@doctorBobG @NaturePortfolio Thanks!

@ProfSheilaRusso @NaturePortfolio Congrats Sheila!

Please check out our latest paper published on Nature Communications @NaturePortfolio! #softrobotics Link below: link.springer.com/article/10.103…

@DrRituRaman @NaturePortfolio Thanks, Ritu!

Excited to welcome Dr. Yitong Lu to our lab as a new #postdoc. Yitong brings a wealth of experience in developing control and planning algorithms for mesoscale surgical robots to our group. Looking forward to working with her!

Are you attending #HSMR2024? Please check out my Ph.D. student @DanielVanLewen's latest work on "Monitoring Forces in Soft Robotic Brain Retraction via Origami Sensing Modules"! Also, I will be giving two invited talks here lnkd.in/guVDTTDJ and lnkd.in/gnEyHecQ

Check out our latest #paper on @DeviceCP @CellPressNews We present a #soft optical blood #sensor for #colonoscopy and evaluate its safety and performance ex-vivo with a cohort of 10 novice and expert endoscopists. #SoftRobotics #Sensing #SoftSensing sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

I couldn’t be prouder of my former PhD student, Dr. Max McCandless, who received the Outstanding PhD Dissertation Award! 🥇 @BU_Tweets @BUCollegeofENG @BuMechE #proudPI #proudtobu #robot #robotsofinstagram #softrobotics #surgicalrobotics

@RicharMurray @DanielVanLewen Thanks for the pictures!

@ProfSheilaRusso @DanielVanLewen

The Material Robotics lab just landed in Japan to attend #ICRA2024! @DanielVanLewen and Viola Del Bono will be presenting their papers soon in the session ‘Soft Sensors and Actuators 1’ on Tuesday, May 14. Don’t miss it! #proudPI #softrobotics #surgicalrobotics
