We are excited to announce that we will be running a series of workshops on Dec 2-3 titled "From Non-Roboticists to Soft Robotics", both aimed at improving interdisciplinary collaboration within Soft Robotics. All info and free tickets can be found here: softrobotics.uk/events
Ali Shtarbanov, from the @MIT @medialab, will give a free talk @ImperialDyson (Nov 23) about his creation FlowIO, a open-source miniature pneumatics development platform aimed at increasing engagement with soft programmable materials. Link to tickets: eventbrite.co.uk/e/flowio-platf…
Soft exosuits might be the future of rehab, here's how. @SoftLabBristol @BristolRobotLab
Credit card-sized soft pumps that power wearable artificial muscles could change the life of thousands of people with mobility issues. The @SoftLabBristol at @BristolRobotLab is where all of this starts. More of this here: bristol.ac.uk/news/2021/febr…

Two fully-funded positions available in the field of soft and compliant robots at @SussexUni, under the supervision of Dr @HareeshGodaba and Dr @HerzigNicolas. Complete requirements and the procedure for formal application process can be found here: sussex.ac.uk/study/phd/apply
Soft robotics can bridge the gap between biological organisms and robots. In this article, Prof Jonathan Rossiter discusses the properties of soft materials and systems that will allow robots to be thought of as robotic organisms rather than machines. link.springer.com/content/pdf/10…
Great 1st day of our workshop "Introduction to Soft Robotics for Industry". Shout out to all our speakers and people who have helped to makes this happen @SoftRoboticsUK @UKRobotics @EPSRC
Next up is Dr Andrew Conn, which will introduce some principles of bio-inspired soft actuation techniques. @SoftLabBristol @BristolRobotLab @BristolUni
Our workshop Introduction to Soft Robotics for Industry is underway now! Thank you @adamastokes for your insightful talk on the modelling and control of soft systems. Our next guest speaker, @KasparAlthoefer, will give his view on what soft robotics is. @ARQ_QMUL @EdinburghUni
Less than a week to our workshop "Introduction to Soft Robotics for Industry". Our speakers will deliver their views on how soft robotics can benefit industry in an engaging discussion that spans over a day and a half. For more details and to sign up: softrobotics.uk/events/introdu…
