@m_alhafnawi Super cool work Merihan!

[Sabine Hauert @sabinehauert]

Thank you all for joining my inaugural lecture yesterday! It was so fun to see collaborators, friends and families all in one place. Lots of robot demos from the team and a proper garden party with robot face paint. So grateful! @BristolUniEng @BristolRobotLab

[Sabine Hauert @sabinehauert]

Inspired after the #ICRA2024 Breaking Swarm Stereotypes workshop! 8 talks, 2 panels, 23 posters, 8 videos, 2 demos, and interactive art. Full room!

Thanks to sponsors Autodiscovery, Toshiba, @EIC_EMERGE and fab team.

Self-organised dinner and karaoke!

Day 5 - Workshop day for us!!! The Breaking Swarm Stereotypes workshop was such hit we had a full house, the whole community was so engaged and really interesting conversations came out at the end. @sabinehauert @suetl_ @RazanneAdnan @FbKholood

First day at @ieee_ras_icra in Yokohama, Japan! Also saw Mt Fuji from the plane yesterday, a pinch me moment!

[Neshika Wijewardhane @neshika_w]

Day 4 meant I finally got to listen to micro/nano robotics talks. Keynote from @MarianaMedinaS6 And last bits of preparation for our workshop tomorrow. The farewell party treated us to traditional drum performance!

[Sabine Hauert @sabinehauert]

In addition to the talks and panel discussions, we have 23 posters, 8 videos, and 2 live demos.
You can find all the abstracts, posters and videos here:

So excited about the Breaking Swarm Stereotypes workshop tomorrow at #ICRA2024. We'll be celebrating the field and thinking ahead about how we can expand our principles to make swarms a reality.

[Sabine Hauert @sabinehauert]

We asked colleagues in biology for insight from nature on how to make robot swarms better. Love this video by @FbKholood! Thanks @GTheraulaz, @NStroeymeyt, D. Gordon and M. Papadopoulou.

Great lead-up to our #ICRA2024 workshop:

I've been helping organise this workshop, very excited to be going to #ICRA2024 and Japan!

[Sabine Hauert @sabinehauert]

The #ICRA2024 workshop on "breaking swarm stereotypes" was accepted! The team has been meeting weekly to build a great event - and we can't wait to see you there. We'll be updating this website as things progress - don't miss our call for abstracts: https://t.co/OhYvMTrdtf

[Neshika Wijewardhane @neshika_w]

My paper 'Modular Wavelength Adaptation of the Dynamic Optical MicroEnvironment' is out!
Find out how the DOME can optically target specific populations of cells.
