This week, I'm taking over the Instagram of FWO! Follow along and take a look at my research on self-healing robotics at VUB: instagram.com/fwovlaanderen/

Een van de tofste ervaringen tijdens mijn PhD tot nu toe! Dankjewel @Wet_battle @FloorIsYours @Technopolis_Be, en proficiat Ruth met je verdiende overwinning!

Back to work @vub after an amazing week at the GRS/GRC Robotics in Ventura! A week filled with attending interesting presentations and meeting amazing people. I hope to meet many of you again in 2024 when I will be co-chairing the GRS together with blockale23

Also during de second day Fatma Demir and Ellen Roels during VUB Faculty of Engineering science workshop showed how to tune soft materials over processing to robotic fingers #EICShinto

On April 3 join our workshop Additive Manufacturing and Novel Fabrication Techniques of Soft Robots, at the #IEEE #Robosoft conference in #Singapore! Materials and robotics experts will discuss the challenges of AM in soft robotics smartitn.eu/robosoft-works…

I had the honor to receive the best paper award on the stage of IEEERoboSoft for the work of my collleague Julie. Amazing job!

Thanks to amazing BruBotics VUB team and especially Ellen Roels, Gabriël Van De Velde, Niklas Steenackers, Hendrik Cools we won during Nerdland Festival 2023 the Guinness world record of most assembled robots on a row. Officially approved with 334 robots (previous record was 255)

5 jaar onderzoek samenvatten in 3 minuten? Challenge accepted!

Today marks the final day of the 2024 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Robotics, which was preceded by a Seminar (GRS) I had the pleasure to chair this year. I had an amazing week with many new insights, ideas and connections. I hope to see you again in 2026!

Proud to be part of this amazing BruBotics VUB team!

Yesterday was the award ceremony of the KVAB Science Communication Awards 2024. I was honoured to accept the award in the name of my BruBotics VUB colleagues Bram Vanderborght, Gabriel, Hendrik, Niklas, and myself. Thanks to VUB and VUB Faculty of Engineering for the support!
