We participated in MARS 2026, hosted by Amazon Founder and Executive Chair Jeff Bezos in California. MARS is a yearly event that brings together innovative minds in Machine Learning, Automation, Robotics, and Space to share ideas across these rapidly advancing domains. Our demo team showcased an AI-powered fluidic tactile sensor developed by our PhD student Arman Goshtasbi and presented various crawling robots inspired by earthworms and snakes, developed by our postdocs Aida Parvaresh, Jonathan Tirado, and former PhD student Burcu Seyidoğlu. Thanks to Cao Danh Do for technical support.
