Jonathan represented SDU Soft Robotics at GRC Robotics 2026 conference on Embodied Intelligence in Robots and Animals, held in Ventura, California, United States, from January 11–16, 2026. He presented results from his PhD project on earthworm-inspired limbless locomotion during the poster session and served as a discussion leader at the Gordon Research Seminar (GRS), contributing to the session titled “Embodied Actuation and Control Across Scales via Mechanical, Fluidic, and Neural Couplings.” He will serve as co-chair for the next GRS seminar in 2028. The event provided an excellent platform for technical exchange and discussion within the vibrant robotics research community.
