Meeting Room: 304 Bi- and multi-stable structures, as well as origami structures, can rapidly release elastic energy during transitions between different equilibrium shapes. These snap-through transitions between stable configurations are characterized by rapid and amplified motions. In recent years, the application of bi- and multi-stability to soft actuators and robots has attracted significant research interest. […]

Meeting Room: International Ballroom F (Omni Hotel) Field robotics tackles the problem of developing, deploying, and evaluating autonomous mobile systems in unstructured and often dynamic environments. Typical commercial applications are in agriculture, construction, mining, and forestry. The range of physical mediums is also very diversified: in the air, on the ground, underground, on the water, […]

Meeting Room: 401 The control of small-scale robots is becoming increasingly crucial across various domains, from medical to micromanipulation applications. Despite recent significant advancements, small-scale robot technologies often face limitations in sensing and actuation capabilities. These limitations pose challenges in executing tasks within complex environments. To overcome these obstacles, human-in-the-loop paradigms are essential, as they […]
