The Robotics Gordon Research Conferences is off to a great start! Loved hosting a “Power Hour” focused on #scicomm and #outreach which featured presentations from Lining Yao on “Morphing Pasta” 🍝 and a *live demonstration* of #PlanktoScope on water from the Ventura harbor by PrakashLab! 🌊

Alexandra Ion and I recently updated all the juicy details on the #UIST2024 call for papers: uist.acm.org/2024/cfp/#pape… check those out as you prepare your submissions! Send your best work to UIST 2024 and come to the conference in Pittsburg! (cc Lining Yao Mayank Goel ACM SIGCHI )

An inspiration for those working on multi-state structures.

Interestingly our groove-based morphing rose became the background of an upcoming NSF event. The original project is here, indeed supported by NSF. morphingmatter.org/projects/morph…

Expanding bi-stable into multi-stable soft actuators, led by Yichi Luo, Dinesh K. Patel. Soft Machines Lab Morphing Matter Lab @ UC Berkeley onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ad…

Submit to #UIST2024! Wish everyone good luck with the last mile of working towards the deadline!

A great pleasure to have been invited as part of the team! Led by Mason Zadan Soft Machines Lab. Combining artificial muscle with thermoelectrics for sped-up actuation and energy harvesting. #TopDownloadedArticle Adv Mater Advanced Sci News doi.org/10.1002/adma.2…

The #UIST2024 Abstract deadline is **today** 5pm PT! Make sure to submit your abstract, which is required before submitting the Paper next week. All details: uist.acm.org/2024/cfp/#pape… cc Pedro Lopes Lining Yao Mayank Goel

Congrats Koya NARUMI , looking forward to amazing research to come!

It is an inspiring venue with opportunities for in-depth exchanges if you work with bioinspired, biomimetic and biohybrid materials, systems and robots!

26% increase of submission from last year! Way to grow #UIST2024

Looking forward to welcoming you to Morphing Matter Lab @ UC Berkeley , Mako!

Qiuyu (Luca) Lu from Morphing Matter Lab @ UC Berkeley is leading a SIG at #CHI2024 on Ecological HCI, with amazing speakers Vikram Iyer Pedro Lopes Andreea Danielescu , to discuss eco-friendly materials, fabrications, IoTs and beyond, with both in person and online options!morphingmatter.org/chisig

🚀Calling all global makers! Submit your proposals to the #UIST2024 Student Innovation Contest! This year's challenge, Gen-M: Makers of Future Interactive Devices, invites students to create intelligent devices with Seeed Studio's hardware kit. CFP: uist.acm.org/2024/cfp/#stud…

Leeches have a reputation for clinging stubbornly to their hosts, but one species has a more acrobatic side: It leaps through the air. Learn more: scim.ag/7DQ Science Visuals

About 10 years ago, I benefited from my first student volunteer work at CSCW in Hangzhou. SV gives one not only a free registration, but also a life-long experience, friendship and community. We need you for #UIST2024, student volunteers!

The U.S. women's 26 gold medals are the MOST by a women's team in a single Olympics 👏 🇺🇸

Aside from highly competitive technical paper presentations and always engaging demos/posters/student innovation contest shows, we also have a great lineup of inspiring speakers in keynotes, vision talks, ask me for anything sessions. Join us UIST 2024 ! The registration is open!

I harvested this beautiful post reflection on morphing matter from the lens of a junior yet brilliant computer graphic student, Sergius, who attended my talk at Summer Geometry Initiative led by Justin Solomon at MIT. summergeometry.org/sgi2024/explor…
