Back in December we held the 5th edition of the Robotics Forum - Amazon PhD Prizes for Outstanding Achievement in Robotics📷! ✨Congratulations again to the winners & finalists🌟! @IvanKapelyukh @xinzhou1996 @vitalisvos19 @thrishlab @AdSpiers @Ed__Johns @SoRoTransducers @akedgley @AmazonScience

Check out our recent article in @NatureComms: #ElectroRibbon artificial muscle with a high contraction that can independently tune its stiffness and damping. Great work from @Yuejun_Xu nature.com/articles/s4146…

We're offering two funded #PhD positions at #Imperial, co-supervised by Prof. Dario Farina. It's about developing future upper-limb #soft_robots with physical & artificial intelligence. @ImperialRobots @ImperialBioeng @imperialcollege @NeuroCon_ICL imperial.ac.uk/soft-robotic-t…

@MorphComp @BristolUni @UWEBristol @farscopecdt Congratulations Helmut

I am thrilled to announce that with August I am going to be a Chair / Full Professor of Soft Robotics and Morphological Computation. Thank you to everyone who has worked with me, inspired me & helped me along the way. @BristolUni @UWEBristol @farscopecdt tinyurl.com/23v5v9ot

@farkhatdinov @KingsCollegeLon Congratulations on your new job!

Today I started at @KingsCollegeLon Senior Lecturer in Healthcare Engineering (Robotics/Mechatronics/Haptics)

Exciting wrap-up of "SoRo for Healthcare", our inaugural 2-day conference! 🚀 Insightful keynotes from @ellentroche, @danadam13271, @maisifacility, Prof. Yves Perriard, and Prof. Shervanthi Homer, Looking forward to continuing this conference series next year!

Just wrapped up a fantastic workshop at @ICLHamlynRobots with a brilliant diverse speakers from engineering and clinical backgrounds! Together, we explored potential pathways for future impactful technologies that can restore physiological functions #HSMR23

@ProfSheilaRusso Great works 👍

My PhD students Max McCandless and Daniel Van Lewen just gave fantastic presentations of their recent works at the Hamlyn Symposium on Medical Robotics! #HSMR2023 #surgicalrobotics #softrobotics #medicalrobotics #proudPI

Join our workshop at the Hamlyn Symposium where we'll explore soft robotics, advanced biomaterials, and clinical translational science and their potential synergies in addressing unmet challenges associated with mobility and motility disorders. #HSMR23 hamlynsymposium.org/events/discipl…

Fabulous evening dining in style on the SSGB, following day two's exciting talks at #EuroEAP2023 @BristolUniEng @BristolUniMaths @BristolRobotLab

Thank you Andrew Conn for organizing the @euroeap conference in Bristol. Many high quality talks, great discussions, and a wonderful social program.

Soft Robotic Transducers lab members sharing their work with the Electroactive Polymer community at the 11th @euroeap conference in Bristol. Well done visva, @xyj022, @AzaisCaterina.

Our demo table in the @imperialcollege's Center for Neuro Rehabilitaion, eagerly awaiting for the #ICRA2023 visitors. Will have an action-packed day with over 130 registered individuals. @ImperialBioeng

Visva Moorthy and Lawrence Hou have presented their late breaking results in #ICRA2023 today. Heads up for their publications if you are interested in #haptic feedback, #tremor suppression #orthotics and origami-inspired robotic wrist.

Back in the lab with @AliSade83700364 after 7 years! Excited to prepare materials for our workshop tomorrow on "Untethered Soft Robotics", hosted by Unevrsity of Twente.

Congrats to Lawrence Hou, who ranked 1st in his MSc cohort and received the best academic performance award! Proud to have you on my team. If attending #ICRA2023, check out his impressive late results poster on origami-inspired wrist actuator before we publish the full paper.

Cate and Visva from @SoRoTransducer spent a week at #CIMAINA and conducted fascinating experiments! Thanks P. Milani for hosting. So proud of their hard work and excited to see where their research takes them next.

Our latest Advanced Functional Materials paper on new electric field-driven soft gel actuators is online here: doi.org/10.1002/adfm.2…. Video here: youtube.com/watch?v=cTvSyc… well done @CiqunXu! @FaulResearch @SoRoTransducers @BristolRobotLab
