🎙️ 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! 😄

[Science Robotics @SciRobotics]

#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: https://t.co/MCsWnpU6o3

[Science Robotics @SciRobotics]

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

Check this super cool tutorial out! Happening at @IEEERoboSoft 2025 in Lausanne

[Helmut Hauser @MorphComp]

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.

@TechRxiv_org @bvadorno @AleSaccon @arxiv Thanks! The paper is online now! Super good experience, I will use TechRxiv again in the future

[Cosimo Della Santina @CosimoDella]

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⁉️

[Cosimo Della Santina @CosimoDella]

Very cool stuff!

[IEEE Transactions on Robotics (T-RO) @IeeeTro]

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.

[Science Robotics @SciRobotics]

A new Science #Robotics study describes a #prosthetic hand that combines postural information and signals from spinal motor neurons to enable intuitive and dexterous movements such as pinching and grasping. @AntonioBicchi

@bvadorno @AleSaccon @arxiv Indeed! I went for TechRxiv in the end. The submission was very smooth, but I am still waiting for them to process the request. Will let you know how it goes!

[Cosimo Della Santina @CosimoDella]

@rafsanjani84 @arxiv It was the official TU Delft one 😰

[Cosimo Della Santina @CosimoDella]

@AleSaccon @arxiv I thought that HAL was only for researchers located in France!
