Earthworm-like modular soft robot
Saravana published a paper on a modular earthworm-inspired soft robot in Scientific Reports. Congratulations, Saravana! He also wrote about this work in a blog post in Nature Portfolio Engineering Community. […]
!brute_force – Soft Resilience
!brute_force is an umbrella title for an ongoing research platform. The work is set up as a grid where a human and a dog climb through a landscape of tiles, […]
Introduction to Soft Robotics 2022
This course is an interdisciplinary introduction to soft robotics and reviews recent works and research in this field. Soft robots are an emerging class of robots that take inspiration from […]
Giving life to robotic skins
A Preview is published by Ahmad Rafsanjani and colleagues from ETH Zurich on the research article “Living skin on a robot” by Takeuchi and coworkers in Matter. Abstract: The skin […]
Turning materials into robots

Towards a Soft Science of Soft Robots
The position paper presents an argument that aesthetic theory and practice are pertinent to the rapidly expanding field of soft robotics. Soft robotics as an aesthetic phenomenon is introduced and […]
Curvilinear Kirigami
Abstract: The locomotion of soft snake robots is dependent on frictional interactions with the environment. Frictional anisotropy is a morphological characteristic of snakeskin that allows snakes to engage selectively with […]
