Meet Laura Paez
"I started working in bio-inspired robotics during my bachelor’s studies, when I had the opportunity to contribute to a research project. It was also when I first contributed to my first robotics research article". @laurisa27

A lamprey-inspired #robot replicated the slithering movement of lampreys and eels underwater by aligning an internal #neural circuit—akin to a lamprey’s spinal cord—with external sensors.

AgnathaX, a lamprey-inspired #robot designed by @EPFL_en, @KMRoBoTa engineers, successfully slithered like an eel by alligning its central and peripheral control systems, simulating a process known in #biology as entrainment: https://t.co/39nv0I1KWO
Thanks @georgelauder for this enriching experience, and @BIOROB_EPFL@nccrrobotics for sponsoring me. The exciting results of this experience will come soon!
Laura Paez, a PhD student at @BIOROB_EPFL and @EPFL_en, has recently spent 6 months working at the Lauder Lab in @Harvard.

Swimming robot #AgnathaX was modeled after a lamprey. Force sensors distributed laterally along its segments work like the pressure-sensitive cells on a lamprey’s skin and detect the force of the water against the animal. @EPFLEngineering@BIOROB_EPFL [1/4]
Really beautiful work out in @SciRobotics today from @rthandiackal@laurisa27@BIOROB_EPFL and others https://t.co/JtFbUC6W3t. Local pressure sensing can give robust swimming, even when the controller is damaged!
Don't miss our new work in @SciRobotics with my robot AgnathaX in undulatory swimming and force sensing feedback.

Check out the new cover for Science #Robotics! In this issue: A tunable tail improves TunaBot's swimming abilities and a lamprey-inspired #robot successfully slithers underwater by combining its central and peripheral "nervous systems." https://t.co/wgJSGr0JzX
Congrats to Kyungjin Kim (@splacour40 Lab), Laura Paez (@BIOROB_EPFL Lab), Vytautas Navikas (@LabRadenovic Lab) and Samuel M. Leitão (@GFantner Lab) for winning gold, silver and bronze in the latest #voirestsavoir contest! Kudos, all participants :-)
