🎙️ New episode! @CosimoDella (@tudelft) takes us inside the fascinating world of soft robotics 🤖🐙 Compliance over rigidity, shape as intelligence, and why underactuation may actually be a feature — unmissable! 😄
🎙️ New episode! @DellaSantinaC takes us inside soft robotics — a young, daring field where compliance replaces rigidity, intelligence emerges from shape, and underactuation is a feature, not a flaw. A rare front-row seat to a discipline with more questions than answers. 🚀🧠

#SoftRobots that can generate spontaneous rhythms, use them to coordinate sequential movements, and react to stimuli from their surroundings could bridge the gap between living beings and #machines, suggests a new Science #Robotics Focus article: scim.ag/3Sg7Zto

A new Science #Robotics Focus article explores how combining different types of physical control strategies, including oscillation, sequence, and reaction, could equip soft robots with #embodied #intelligence. @PRothemund

Advertisement for an advanced course in Udine, Italy 🇮🇹 this summer ☀️. Learn about mechanics for the fabrication and programming of soft robots 🦑. cism.it/en/activities/course…
organized along with @biosoftact
Check this super cool tutorial out! Happening at @IEEERoboSoft 2025 in Lausanne
Check out my announcement that I will deliver my Productivity Workshop at RoboSoft @EPFL in April 2025. Come and get one of the limited spaces.
Very cool stuff!
Researchers from @UofT perform extensive elastic #StabilityAnalysis of tendon driven continuum robots showing the existence of multiple robot configurations with different shapes, achievable with the same actuation inputs.

I have been part of the hiring process for multiple Assistant Professors at our university. Here are the most common errors that I see that people make

Wow, this is new! I managed to get a paper rejected by... @arxiv 🧐
They are not telling me why, and they do not seem to be willing to re-assess their decision 🤷♂️
Has anyone had this experience already? Any alternatives to ArXiv⁉️

What kind of childhood makes a top scientist? Is it enough to have all the right traits (brilliance, grit, etc) or do you need the right family too?
And why should we care? A 🧵 on our paper on the Nobel Laureates.
