🏆 We won the 1st prize at @IEEERoboSoft competition "Democratization of soft robotics through embodied intelligence." Our soft robot Tubot costs only 3$ and harnesses environmental interactions and light sensing to achieve autonomous phototaxis. Simple robot, complex behaviors!
We believe that imitating complex natural phenomena when designing artificial systems offers great opportunities for the democratization of robotic devices. 🦠🤖

Discover how interacting with a soft hysteretic valve can shift it from oscillation to pressure regulation!💨
In the Journal of Fluids and Structures, we explain this phenomenon with a coupled model. I co-first authored with @LuukVanLaake🤝🏻

Grateful for the opportunity to work on this amazing project! Fantastic team effort!🐙 @softrobotmatter Try our strategy to turn your soft fluidic actuators into sensors! 💡https://t.co/Pnsp3hXpFS
Great to see this work published! Congrats to @ShiboZou@softrobotmatter and the rest of the team @_amolf @TUeindhoven @tudelft. For an overview of the work, see this short movie 🤖🦑https://t.co/tcjq7c93Mn
Today the @hetklokhuis team from the Dutch national television came to our @softrobotmatter lab to shoot an episode on #softrobots. A great way to inspire the next generation! Stay tuned🤖🐙👩🔬👨🔧👩🏫👨⚕️@_amolf
GRC Robotics conference was an absolute blast! Surrounded by like-minded people, inspired by many conversations, cheered with drinks and laughs 🐙🤖🤘🏻 AMOLF was well represented by Parisa Omidvar, @SergioPicella, @SumitMohanty91 and I. 💥
Great to help out @NEMOamsterdam with their workshops and exhibits to bridge science to the future generation of engineers and scientists! The @softrobotmatter helped develop part of an interactive exhibit that looks at how bio-inspiration can lead to innovation 🦑🤖👩🔧👨🔬 @_amolf
Interested to work in a multidisciplinary consortium on a soft artificial heart? The @softrobotmatter group @_amolf is hiring a PhD-student and Postdoc to continue the work on soft circuits and muscles in the hydraulic domain! https://t.co/6fY5NtciPF👩💻🤖

Our design student Katrien van Riet is showcasing our soft circuits toolkit as part of the @TUeindhoven drivers for change at the #DutchDesignWeek#ddw23. Find us from 21-29 October at #strijps 🤖🦑 @softrobotmatter@_amolf
Congratulations to our new Doctor Luuk van Laake! 🎉🐙 @LuukVanLaake gave a heartbeat to soft robots. Good luck with your next steps, never stop oscillating, and keep being curious!
If you are interested, here is one chapter of his thesis:

Fantastic to have been nominated for the innovation award at the Eindhoven
Makerfaire, with our soft robotics toolkit! https://t.co/aO0FGVc2mw Want to learn more? https://t.co/JtkRvQe66Z
Excited to be at the Eindhoven Makerfaire with our Soft Fluidic Toolkit. Kids of all ages can experiment, build and interact with our pneumatic circuits to learn about technology and electronics! Play is the best way to learn! @tue @_amolf @softrobotmatter
Ecstatic beyond words to share that our #HollandHybridHeart team has been awarded a mind-blowing 11 million euros to develop a soft robotic heart! ❤️🔬 Grateful for the funding and eager to revolutionize the field of cardiology with this game-changing innovation. 🚀
