Hosted by the Soft Robotics Laboratory

The Soft Robotics Lab has been founded in July 2020 by Prof. Robert Katzschmann, previously of MIT.

With extensive experience of designing soft, flexible, and adaptive robots, the team will advance the research on the design and fabrication of soft and biohybrid robots, and develop model and control systems to push the abilities of robots for real life applications.
