The SQE Inspire Program thanks Dr. Ryan Truby @rltruby & his Robotic Matter Lab members for helping host students from Trinity High School for an exciting day meeting the scientists & seeing first hand the amazing robotic & material science research that they are doing! @TrubyLab
If you're at #AIChE2024, swing by Poster 387 and meet Dr. EunBi Oh @EunBiOh3 at TODAY's #FacultyCandidate Poster Session! EunBi joined @TrubyLab as the first member of our team and laid the foundation of our group's incredible community. She is SO ready to launch her own lab!
Congratulations to Northwestern Engineering's Ian McCue and @rltruby, who both received two-year, $500,000 @DARPA Young Faculty Awards. The program aims to identify and engage standout researchers in junior faculty positions. bit.ly/46NVESC
🎉Excited to announce my latest perspective in collaboration with @rltruby and @todd_murphey!
Here we provide a task-first roadmap toward materializing autonomy in soft robots as small as paramecia and as large as elephant trunks, paying particular attention to scale-dependence.
Off to San Francisco for #ACSFall2023! I will be presenting at the Future Faculty Symposium this Sunday. Thrilled to share my work from both the Mirkin group and the Robotic Matter lab. Excited and eager to hear insights and feedback from all! #acspmse@TrubyLab@MirkinGroupNU
Our first review is now OPEN ACCESS at @AnnualReviews Material Research! We look at progress in electrically controllable soft actuators for building computationally and physically intelligent machines. Check it out: bit.ly/3DFftPe
Dr. @EunBiOh3 is presenting our lab's VERY FIRST conference presentation tomorrow #ACSSpring2023!!! Check out her talk (3825653) on 3D printed ionogel composites in the Materials and Processing Challenges in Additive Manufacturing of Structural Composites Symposium @acspmse.
Congratulations to Professors Sam Kriegman and Ryan Truby on winning a 2022 Center for Engineering Sustainability and Resilience Seed Grant for their project titled "Sustainable Design and Fabrication of Intelligent Robots." @CesrNu@Kriegmerica@rltrubybit.ly/3lcGC67
What do we want? Sustainable robotics! When do we want it? Now!
Together with @rltruby, our proposal,
"A sustainable path to intelligent robots"
was one of five seed grants awarded by @CesrNu this year.
Motorized, untethered soft robots via 3D printed auxetics led by Pranav Kaarthik, Francesco L. Sanchez, James Avtges nd Ryan L. Truby @rltruby@TrubyLabdoi.org/10.1039/D2SM00…
Our FIRST research paper @NorthwesternEng is out @softmatter! Pranav Kaarthik 3D printed architected materials for motorized, untethered soft robots that walk for >1h! Congrats to Pranav, Francesco Sanchez (ME Undergrad) & James Avtges (MSR Student)! rsc.li/3wzwfMH
