🏆 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!

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 @LuukVanLaake🤝🏻 ✉️@BasOvervelde sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Removing support material in 3D-printed soft robotics is usually a hassle… but what if you leave it in? In our recent work, we EMB3D print soft devices with shape memory using the support as the transmission fluid! w/@CorentinCoulais & @BasOvervelde doi.org/10.1002/aisy.2022003…

Shape Memory Soft Robotics with Yield Stress Fluids

Many organisms use non-Newtonian fluids and pressurized cavities to produce movement. Inspired by these biological motifs, this study 3D prints soft robotics into a yield stress support matrix and...
