It's time for a throwback to the SoftGrip appearance at the National Structural Integrity Research Centre (NSIRC) Research & Innovation Conference 2023! Konstantinos Vasios from the University of Essex has joined the event as part of his Ph.D. work on our SoftGrip research to present his work “Bridging the Simulation to Reality Gap in Robotics”.

Some of the most interesting developments in #AI these days happen at the intersection with #robotics 🤖 Play your part of this innovation as an AI Center Fellow 👉 ai.ethz.ch/apply #artificialintelligence #innovation #research #fellowship ETH Zürich

Implantation of a total artificial heart offers a solution for patients with severe heart failure, but existing artificial hearts have major limitations, which means there is a need for a better alternative. Through his doctoral research, Luuk van Laake has contributed to the development of a future artificial heart based on soft robotics. https://lnkd.in/gfDPVtmU

The first paper with my name in the authors' pole position has been published! 🏁🥇 In November, a paper prepared by me, Teresa Zielinska, EKEMEYONG AWONG LISIANE ESTHER, and Vibekananda Dutta, titled "Analysis and Recognition of Human Postures for Robotic Applications," was presented at the IFToMM World Congress 2023 in Tokyo, Japan 🗾 - the largest congress on mechanism and machine science. The scope of the paper includes two main topics. The first, prepared as a result of my research for my master's thesis in Robotics and Automatic Control, is about the static and dynamic stability of the human body posture. The second, for which I am very grateful to EKEMEYONG AWONG LISIANE ESTHER, is about the recognition of human body postures. PS I have finally set up my public profile on Google Scholar.

I am thrilled to announce the first edition of our Workshop: AI-CogDev - "Architecting Intelligence: Exploring Intersections in Cognitive Robotics and Developmental Learning" It will be held at the IEEE International Conference on Development and Learning (ICDL 2024) in Austin, Texas, USA, and virtually. Looking at babies to make better robots requires expertise in many fields, yet these often feel like separate bubbles. The AI-CogDev workshop aims to bridge the gap between these amazing research fields. Expert or newcomer, it doesn’t matter: if you share that same vision, join the discussion and share your ideas! The call for papers is still open 📢 🔗 https://lnkd.in/esRUSaY4

The problem of estimating a person's #payload during lifting tasks is long-lasting. Payload estimation is critical for work-related #injuryprevention as well as for the development of assistive technologies, such as #exoskeletons, or #cobots that can provide adaptive support. As part of a collaboration between our #NMEL group at University of Twente, Robotics Centre University of Twente and University of Verona we show how a mix of multi-body inverse dynamics and #EMG-informed forward dynamics allows payload estimation during industrial lifting tasks: Paper: https://lnkd.in/eebT-qPh Great collaborative work with Andrea Calanca, Emanuele Feola, Davide Costanzi and Mohamed Irfan Refai

Exploring #Diversity and #Bias in #Robotics and #AI! 🌐🤖 Join the event RoboInsights. How do we live with Robots? It will bring together visionaries, researchers, and practitioners to share insights, engage in meaningful discussions, and chart a course towards a more equitable future in Robotics and AI. The aim is to address the challenges, seize the opportunities, and pave the way for a technological landscape that benefits everyone. In the ever-evolving landscape of #robotics and #ai , a critical concern has taken center stage – the issues of #diversity and #bias. As these transformative technologies become seamlessly integrated into our daily lives, it's imperative that we address the potential pitfalls stemming from the lack of diversity within development teams and the data they learn from. The consequences of biased outcomes are far-reaching, perpetuating inequalities and casting doubt on the fairness of these remarkable advancements. 🗓️ Date: 21st of September 🎟️ Get your ticket and be part of the conversation: Conference Tickets See below 👇 We can't wait to see this happening at #dtu on the 21st of September. I will be there, what about you? DTU Electro Marianne Andersen Inese Podgaiska

[Call for papers] 📃📝 We invite submissions to the 20th edition of the “Robotics: Science and Systems” (RSS) conference #rss2024, to be held at the Technical University of Delft #tudelft in Delft, Netherlands, from July 15 - 19, 2024. 🤖 RSS is a single-track conference that connects researchers working on all aspects of robotics including scientific foundations, mechanisms, algorithms, applications, and analysis of robotic systems. The single-track format gives attendees an opportunity to learn about state-of-the-art research in all areas of robotics. 🦾 The conference will consist of oral and poster presentations of accepted papers, demonstrations, invited talks, and panels. The conference will preserve the RSS tradition of selecting excellent papers via a thorough and fair review process. Paper submissions will be evaluated in terms of their novelty, technical quality, significance, potential impact, and clarity. The conference will again include the recently added category of Demo contributions and a Demo Track during the main conference. RSS seeks high-quality research papers and demos that introduce new ideas and stimulate future trends in robotics. Detailed author instructions for RSS submissions are now available at: https://lnkd.in/dw4qDVxf Regular and demo paper submissions will be due on 𝗙𝗲𝗯𝗿𝘂𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝟮𝗻𝗱, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰.
