TransformativeRoboticsLab

At the Transformative Robotics Lab we use robotics to develop novel materials through digital fabrication, and use novel materials to enhance robotics

That’s a wrap on the @Robotics_Summit ✨

Our final day was packed with highlights — from the Women in Robotics breakfast and the Healthcare Robotics Catalyst Showcase, to Form and Function Robotics Challenge winners announcement.

Huge congratulations to Northeastern University for taking 1st place in this year’s Form and Function Challenge!
2nd Place & Audience Choice Award: University of Waterloo
3rd Place: The University of British Columbia
Honorable Mention: Boston University🤖

Great writeup on our labs work

A new Science #Robotics study describes a #SoftRobot made from connected units called #TRUNCs, which can bend, extend, and twist to work safely alongside humans or close a valve. @JeffreyILipton https://t.co/IuJGdYC17y

[Science Robotics @SciRobotics]

Inspired by elephant trunks, scientists have developed a soft, flexible robotic arm that can twist to stiffen, enabling it to manipulate and install a lightbulb. @MITMechE @NortheasternCOE

@ME_at_UW @UW @uwengineering Good luck to our own Shruthika!

[ThinkOutLoud on OPB @OPBTOL]

.@UW @JeffreyILipton talks to us about developing a new way to quickly make industrial robotic grippers to quickly pivot manufacturing needs on an assembly line:

No more grasping at straws on production lines! A new tool developed @UW would allow assembly-line robots' to pick up almost anything.

Excited for making the IEEE weekly robotics roundup with @AdrianaSchulz7 https://t.co/EahV8TzHDq

How to help assembly-line robots shift gears and pick up almost anything https://t.co/zaSJUaDjwG https://t.co/A84adAG1Po

[Allen School @uwcse]

Assembly-line robots are great, but usually at only one thing. A new tool from #UWAllen & @ME_at_UW would enable manufacturers to rapidly get a grip on changing production needs by 3D printing passive grippers customized for various objects. #SIGGRAPH2022 https://t.co/PgUzfLsAUT

[Mechanical Engineering at UW @ME_at_UW]

A UW team, including ME Assistant Professor Jeffrey Lipton & doctoral student Ian Good, created a new tool that can design a 3D-printable passive gripper & calculate the best path to pick up a variety of objects. Learn more: https://t.co/oactvgHGTO @uwcse @uwengineering

[Carnegie Mellon University @CarnegieMellon]

Funding from @NASA will help a team including Carnegie Mellon's @zacinaction and @UW's Jeff Lipton continue their work to design and build foldable structures for space. https://t.co/UlNS4W8rPq
