Fluffy octopi in the AMOLF car! 🐙 Alberto Comoretto Shibo Zou and Sergio Picella won the 🥇🥈poster awards at the Dutch Soft Robotics Symposium, bringing home these cute prizes 🤖🦠University of Twente (inactive) Ali Sadeghi

Ecstatic beyond words to share that our #HollandHybridHeart team has been awarded a mind-blowing 11 million euros to develop a soft robotic heart! ❤️🔬 Grateful for the funding and eager to revolutionize the field of cardiology with this game-changing innovation. 🚀

Excited to be at the Eindhoven Makerfaire with our Soft Fluidic Toolkit. Kids of all ages can experiment, build and interact with our pneumatic circuits to learn about technology and electronics! Play is the best way to learn! ⁦ツエ丸⁩ ⁦AMOLF⁩ ⁦Soft Robotic Matter⁩

Fantastic to have been nominated for the innovation award at the Eindhoven Makerfaire, with our soft robotics toolkit! eindhoven.makerfaire.com/?lang=en%3Cbr Want to learn more? Softmodbot.com

A crowded lab is a happy lab! 🔧🤖🧪🐙 AMOLF

Congratulations to our new Doctor Luuk van Laake! 🎉🐙 luuk van laake gave a heartbeat to soft robots. Good luck with your next steps, never stop oscillating, and keep being curious! If you are interested, here is one chapter of his thesis: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Our design student Katrien van Riet is showcasing our soft circuits toolkit as part of the TU Eindhoven drivers for change at the #DutchDesignWeek #ddw23. Find us from 21-29 October at #strijps 🤖🦑 Soft Robotic Matter AMOLF

Great opportunities for research positions in our lab! 🐙🤖🫀#softrobotics #artificialhearths #phd #postdoc

Delighted to be a part of the Gordon Research Conferences on hard & soft robotics in Ventura, CA. We kicked-off the seminar part of the conference, with inspiring talks from homies Alberto Comoretto & Sergio from Soft Robotic Matter at AMOLF

Great to help out NEMO Science Museum with their workshops and exhibits to bridge science to the future generation of engineers and scientists! The Soft Robotic Matter helped develop part of an interactive exhibit that looks at how bio-inspiration can lead to innovation 🦑🤖👩‍🔧👨‍🔬 AMOLF

GRC Robotics conference was an absolute blast! Surrounded by like-minded people, inspired by many conversations, cheered with drinks and laughs 🐙🤖🤘🏻 AMOLF was well represented by Parisa Omidvar, Sergio Picella, Sumit Mohanty and I. 💥

And just out of curiosity, I recently encountered these amazing creatures called sea gooseberries🪼, which share stark similarity in anatomy to our robots albeit swimming with ciliary propulsion.

I came back from Gordon Research Conferences with a Foldscope gifted by Manu Prakash. Now I'm drawn to the small world 🦠 Foldscope

Today the ⁦⁦Het Klokhuis⁩ team from the Dutch national television came to our ⁦Soft Robotic Matter⁩ lab to shoot an episode on #softrobots. A great way to inspire the next generation! Stay tuned🤖🐙👩‍🔬👨‍🔧👩‍🏫👨‍⚕️⁦AMOLF⁩

Great to see this work published! Congrats to Shibo Zou Soft Robotic Matter and the rest of the team AMOLF TU Eindhoven TU Delft. For an overview of the work, see this short movie 🤖🦑youtu.be/6x7N_1Pf9d0?si…

Grateful for the opportunity to work on this amazing project! Fantastic team effort!🐙 Soft Robotic Matter Try our strategy to turn your soft fluidic actuators into sensors! 💡doi.org/10.1038/s41467…

Discover how interacting with a soft hysteretic valve can shift it from oscillation to pressure regulation!💨 In the Journal of Fluids and Structures, we explain this phenomenon with a coupled model. I co-first authored with luuk van laake🤝🏻 ✉️Bas Overvelde sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

🏆 We won the 1st prize at IEEERoboSoft competition "Democratization of soft robotics through embodied intelligence." Our soft robot Tubot costs only 3$ and harnesses environmental interactions and light sensing to achieve autonomous phototaxis. Simple robot, complex behaviors!

We believe that imitating complex natural phenomena when designing artificial systems offers great opportunities for the democratization of robotic devices. 🦠🤖 Soft Robotic Matter AMOLF

Discover how connected but independent units find their way toward the light without communicating! The article published in Advanced Functional Materials explains how cooperation emerges from implicitly shared information. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…
