The October issue of Science #Robotics is out!

This month's cover highlights a #zebrafish-inspired robot that can replicate visually guided #optomotor responses to stabilize its position against river currents. Learn about this research and more: https://t.co/wngomAc7L5

[Science Robotics @SciRobotics]

Scientists have developed a realistic #zebrafish simulation that can replicate how real larval zebrafish maintain their body position in flowing water, providing insight into the circuits guiding adaptive #visuomotor behaviors. @BIOROB_EPFL

It was indeed great to be part of this fantastic keynote session at IROS2024 with @H_Wurdemann, @BarbaraMazzolai, @KasparAlthoefer and Justin Werfel. Please watch!

[Helge Wurdemann @H_Wurdemann]

It was an absolute pleasure to host the @ieeeras Keynote Session on Biorobotics, introducing some of the pioneers and thought leaders in the field: Auke Ijspeert @BIOROB_EPFL @BarbaraMazzolai @KasparAlthoefer &

Interesting position with Ardian Jusufi:

[Auke Ijspeert @BIOROB_EPFL]

I am happy to announce that my lab will make live demos of our amphibious robots at the @AIforGood #ITUaiSummit taking place on the 30 and 31st of May 2024. I will also give a talk on the Frontiers Stage on Fri 31 8:20. @ITU/@UN  https://t.co/EnIWd8PAY3

Many thanks for sharing this! Also many thanks to Stefan Schaal and Jun Nakanishi (co-authors and co-winners of the prize) + the IEEE selection committee + all of you who have used or cited DMPs (dynamical movement primitives) over the years.

[EPFL School of Engineering @EPFLEngineering]

In 2002, @BIOROB_EPFL co-presented a study on movement imitation in humanoid #robots at the @IEEEorg International Conference on Robotics & Automation. The impactful work recently won Most Influential Paper at @ieee_ras_icra 2024. Congratulations! Paper👉 https://t.co/vX1IXzmFmQ

A quadruped robot trained with #machinelearning by @EPFL_en researchers has learned to avoid falls by spontaneously switching between walking, trotting, and pronking – a milestone for roboticists as well as biologists interested in animal locomotion. https://t.co/5Ex2XXg97g

When the @BBC commissioned 2 reptilian #robots from @BIOROB_EPFL for a documentary in 2016, the scientists never imagined how testing the devices in uncontrolled environments would change their approach to #roboticdesign. @KMRoBoTa @SciRobotics @EPFL_en https://t.co/eQ8Y2mRXHJ
