And congratulations to my EPFL Mechanical Engineering colleagues Josie Hughes CREATE Lab for Early Academic Career Award and Auke Jan Ijspeert Auke Ijspeert for Most Influential Paper Award #icra2024

🏆Congratulations Josie Hughes of CREATE Lab, who recently received the 2024 Early Academic Career Award in #Robotics & Automation at IEEE ICRA in Yokohama for “fundamental contributions to #softrobot design and embodied intelligence”! actu.epfl.ch/news/josie-hug… EPFL Mechanical Engineering

📔#Fieldnote #PolarAccessFund "Moulins can form complex geometries and are an important element for predicting the evolution of our glaciers." Max Polzin CREATE Lab tests robotic systems for safer #data collection & modelling of #glaciers. 👉swisspolar.ch/2024/05/modell…

We are proud to congratulate Nana Obayashi, winner of a 2024 Amelia Earhart fellowship from Zonta International! Nana is an CREATE Lab PhD student specializing in intelligent #softrobot #design, with a passion for #aviation. actu.epfl.ch/news/nana-obay… EPFL Mechanical Engineering

Here’s a peek at the tethered LiDAR we're deploying in Greenland this summer. We're hoping to get first measurements of mega-crevasse depths.🤞 Thankful to CREATE Lab for this collaboration!

Josie Hughes from EPFL joined Communications Engineering as an Editorial Board Member. She will handle submissions in soft robotics and computational design. Check out her lab's webpage: epfl.ch/labs/create/ CREATE Lab

🎉 Huge shoutout to Cynthia Breazeal for being awarded The Robotics Medal! 🏅 And a massive congratulations to Josie Hughes and Heather Culbertson on their well-deserved Rising Star Awards! ✨ Your remarkable leadership and vision light the way for many! 🌟 #ICRA40

👏Congratulations to Josie Hughes of the CREATE Lab lab and Mohamed Bouri of the Auke Ijspeert lab on their winning projects! ➡️ #Climate, #robotics and exoskeletons for the 4 CROSS 2025 projects actu.epfl.ch/news/climate-r… EPFL CDH - College of Humanities

🚀 Our work on dexterous manipulation for robotic hand ! 🦾 Using a Vision-Language-Action (VLA) model for high-level planning and diffusion model for control of fingers. An event signal enables the transition between two models. #Robotics #AI Website: vla-diffu-switch.github.io

CREATE Lab at Swiss Robotics Day 2024!! Thanks for everyone who came over to learn about our robots and team🚀 We're proud to have won the Best Exhibitor Booth Award!

🎉Congratulations to Dr. Vincenzo Scamarcio (Vincenzo Scamarcio ) on successfully defending his PhD dissertation titled "Materials Science Experiments by Robotic Automation" 🤖🥳🎓 CREATE Lab Best of luck in all your future endeavors! 🤓

Save the date (April 2-4, 2025) and join us for the online Embodied Intelligence Conference!!

🎄🎄🎄

Excited to announce that we are recuiting a number of PhD and Post-doc positions in dexterous manipulation, morphing robots, generative design of manipulators and more!🤖 Details here (deadline end of Jan): epfl.ch/labs/create/cr… #softrobotics #manipulation #EPFLRobotics

In a new Science #Robotics Focus article, Nana Obayashi and colleagues propose a research model that would blend long-term “slow science” and short-term “fast science” to promote progress in soft robotics. scim.ag/4b7HkHQ

Scientists have designed a flexible, #bioinspired #robot that can switch between a flat rover form and a sphere to travel through rocky, mountainous, and urban terrains autonomously. CREATE Lab Max Polzin Learn more in Science #Robotics: scim.ag/437Cb0v

We are glad to share our work on the GOAT robot in Science Robotics. By harnessing "environmental computation," GOAT adapts its shape to let the terrain help guide its navigation—an approach that allows it to work with nature rather than against it. #Robot #Robotics Open Robotics

A new Science #Robotics study highlights GOAT—a shapeshifting robot that can drive over boulders as a flat rover or curl up into a sphere to roll down a snowy mountain using onboard sensors for #autonomous navigation. scim.ag/437Cb0v

Our latest paper on the Open Parametric Hand (OPH) is now in Science Robotics! In this, we explore the ties between hand morphologies and behavioural range and diversity. Fantastic work by Kieran Gilday, and collaborators Chapa Sirithunge and Fumiya Iida at Uni. of Cambridge.
