Yesterday was the award ceremony of the @_KVAB Science Communication Awards 2024. I was honoured to accept the award in the name of my @brubotics colleagues @BramVDBorght, Gabriel, Hendrik, Niklas, and myself. Thanks to @VUBrussel and @VUBEngineering for the support!

[Ellen Roels @RoelsEllen]

Proud to be part of this amazing @brubotics team!

The @CYBATHLON 2024 is still months away, but the @VUBrussel team is in full preparation for the leg prothesis race. Are you an above-knee amputee? Want to become a cybathlete? Check: https://t.co/v0AzGQZjh9

Today marks the final day of the 2024 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Robotics, which was preceded by a Seminar (GRS) I had the pleasure to chair this year. I had an amazing week with many new insights, ideas and connections. I hope to see you again in 2026!

Thanks to amazing @brubotics team and especially @RoelsEllen, Gabriël Van De Velde, Niklas Steenackers, Hendrik Cools we won during Nerdland Festival 2023 the Guinness world record of most assembled robots on a row.
Officially approved with 334 robots (previous record was 255)

[Bram Vanderborght @BramVDBorght]

.@VUBrussel en @imecVlaanderen willen wereldrecord breken met keten van robots op @nerdlandbe festival. Komen jullie helpen? @lievenscheire @hHetty @RoelsEllen @brubotics

I had the honor to receive the best paper award on the stage of @IEEERoboSoft for the work of my collleague Julie. Amazing job!

[BruBotics VUB @brubotics]

Our @ieeeras RAL paper “Reconfigurable, Multi-Material, Voxel-Based Soft Robots” won at #robosoft the best paper award https://t.co/jr5n3lMrnr #eicshinto

[SMARTitn @SmarTitn]

On April 3 join our workshop Additive Manufacturing and Novel Fabrication Techniques of Soft Robots, at the #IEEE #Robosoft conference in #Singapore! Materials and robotics experts will discuss the challenges of AM in soft robotics

Geen VUB-student? Dan werkt de sollicitatielink voor jou niet, maar uiteraard is dat geen probleem. Stuur me gewoon een berichtje

[Ellen Roels @RoelsEllen]

Zin om als jobstudent te werken op het coolste festival van het land (dat van @nerdlandbe uiteraard)? Studenten met voeling voor techniek gezocht voor de @VUBEngineering roboticastand. Interesse? Laat me asap iets weten! https://t.co/yVt7SKqB2S

[BruBotics VUB @brubotics]

Also during de second day @_Fatma_Demir and @RoelsEllen during @VUBEngineering science workshop showed how to tune soft materials over processing to robotic fingers #EICShinto

@paniterka_ch It helps if you give ChatGPT a list of existing papers with abstracts (i copied a .bib file in the prompt). Then it is able to generate an introduction where it cites these papers, taking info from the abstracts. I had to specify to only cite papers from the given list though

[Ellen Roels @RoelsEllen]

Back to work @vub after an amazing week at the GRS/GRC Robotics in Ventura! A week filled with attending interesting presentations and meeting amazing people. I hope to meet many of you again in 2024 when I will be co-chairing the GRS together with @alexiseblock
