Join us at ICRA 2024 to experience the first workshop of this kind!

With the help of a diverse panel of speakers, we will engage in a thought experiment exploring the intersection of engineering, design, and evolutionary biology.

Radically new robot concepts are bound to arise

!! RoboSoft '24 Workshop Announcement !!

Find all details for our upcoming workshop 'Democratization of Soft Robotics through Embodied Intelligence' here: t.ly/8fEsV

We will also host the inaugural 'Soft Robotics on a Budget Challenge'!💰

Please share widely!!

Please read and share our new pre-print on 'FlowBots'. These systems are a new generation of soft robots that exploit the characteristics of recirculating fluid flow for analogue control, sensing, and actuation.

Today we announced a £118m skills package to enable the UK to make the most of AI across all industries 👨‍🔬💻

This funding will foster the next generation of researchers needed to seize the transformational benefits of AI through scholarships, expert centres and visa schemes.

The second Edinburgh Robotics Meetup is tomorrow night, 26th October: eventbrite.com/e/edinburgh-ro…

'(Re)designing the robotic tree of life'

✅ Round 1 of the 'In a World...' card game we created with our colleagues at the Soft Systems Group!

Great fun this morning running the workshop with Jonah Mack for the MSc/MA Design Informatics class developed by Ruby Marshall

Every so often in conversation, I'm reminded and concerned that technologists sometimes omit to fully consider the ethical considerations of their work. Sharing this classic short film in case anyone hasn't seen it: youtube.com/watch?v=9CO6M2…

A brilliant initiative by two graduate students aimed at democratising access to soft robotics research globally.

Join us on 18th September at 2pm ET (7pm BST) on the Soft Robotics Forum Discord server for the inaugural session of the new 'Over the Paywall' series!

A step in the right direction.
