Damage detection in self-healing elastomers for soft robots is now possible with 3D printed sensors. Our article, made with the amazing help and contribution of our SHERO partner is online. link.springer.com/article/10.118…

Magnetorheological elastomers are compatible with material extrusion additive manufacturing. Somashree Mondal just had her first first author paper published. Congratulations for the great work! Her project is part of SMARTitn . sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

We had the final review of the Shero project. The research ended for this project but partners continue to innovate for more sustainable robots. Stay tuned for the further dissemination of our self healing soft robot demonstrators.

Dr. Frank Clemens gave a very interesting keynote presentation during the PPS-38 conference on the topic of self-healing sensors. This work is part of SHERO.

It was a great pleasure to meet all the participants during the robotic sensing workshop of the 3rd training school organized at Empa. Cost Essence Empa

Prosthetics can be now equipped with temperature, deformation and tactile sensing capabilities. Our article has been published in advanced intelligent systems. This work is part of the Shero project SHERO. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ai…

Our recent article in Advanced Science combines multi-sensory materials with neural network algorithms. Bringing artificial sensing closer to natural sensory perception thanks to a collaboration within SHERO. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ad…

I really enjoyed the many interesting talks during the presentation of my poster about a proprioceptive hydrogel-based soft robot during the 2024 bioinspired materials conference! This is a collaborative work between SMaL and CREATE Lab.

I really enjoyed Open Doors day at Empa . Many exciting booths and discussions. Big congrats to Frank Clemens and his team for putting together an amazing booth!! Very interesting demonstrators in sensing, 3D printing and Robotics.

Very interesting blog from Cellink about understanding bioelectronics featuring our paper on Bionic Interfaces. It's great to see the rising interest in the topic! cellink.com/blog/understan…
