📢 New LARICS paper in IEEE Access!

We present a model-based method for optimising grasping using a soft Fin-Ray gripper, combining physics-based modelling (beam theory) with a novel contact score metric.

What a fine day to read it: https://t.co/radhM4w3sQ

We received the Best Paper Award at #MRS2025! 🚀 🏅

Huge congratulations to Khawaja, Marijana, Frano & Matko — and thanks to the whole community in Singapore for the support and inspiration. 🙌

[LARICS @laricslab]

We have a Best Paper Award finalist, and we'll present it at #IEEEMRS2025 #Singapore! 🚀

We introduced a decentralised, energy-efficient approach to extending UAV communication networks using perching and switching control. Props to the #LARICS team. ❤️
