Interesting discussion with Laura Blumenschein, an assistant professor at Purdue University. In this episode, Laura shares her research experience on growing robots, bio-inspired design. Her passion for philosophy is reflected in the way she addressing her research challenges. Besides sharing her thoughts about controller design for soft robotics whether we should consider new shcemes. I hope you would enjoy this episode:)

Have you ever asked yourself how do hackers hack? What is an ethical hacker? What is social engineering? My guest is the one and only Jack Rhysider, the host of Darknet diaries True stories from the dark side of the internet. In 2019 only, there were more than 8.2 million downloads. The story behind the podcast itself is inspiring, Jack’s show has an impact and real-life influence on the audience and how podcasting literally changed his life. I hope you enjoy listening, I do recommend subscribing to Darknet Diaries more details here: https://darknetdiaries.com/

We always wanted to bring these ideas and arguments to the forefront of the Soft Robotics community, and highlight many perspectives. That's why we started the soft robotics debate with the help of IEEE RAS and Soft Robotics TC.

In this audio, you are listening to the second debate "Bridging the Gap Between Soft Robots and Soft Materials: Discovering New Material Functionalities vs. Creating Architected Compliance There a gap still exists between cutting edge materials and implemented soft robots. In this debate, we will bring together experts in the fields of soft materials and soft robotics to discuss the necessary steps to bring more collaboration between these two fields. In this debate, panelists were trying to answer whether material development should focus on developing new functionalities for soft robots or on creating optimized materials to meet existing needs, allowing for easier rapid prototyping and technology transferability."

The first poll results are

Smart materials 27 %

Architectured compliance 4%

Gray zone 29%

No answer 40%

The second poll results are:

Smart materials 22 %

Architectured compliance 4%

Gray zone 42%

No answer 32%

Huge thanks to Hadi Sadati, Laura, Gina Olson, Alexis Simoes, Amy Reeder, Kathy Colabaugh, and Fumiya Lida, this debate was not possible without their dedication and effort.

We would love your feedback or any kind of contribution that you can provide so that we can pass this information onto the next debate so that series can grow and improve. I hope you enjoy listening

In this episode, we spoke about the story behind making IROS 2020 for free and the challenges behind making this decision possible. I spoke with Prof.Marcia, the program chair Prof.Marcia about how they came to this decision besides discussing the future of the conference, how we can go from traditional conferences habits to create creative solutions highlighted by Marcia in the episode.

The most important point is how we can afford inclusive conferences experiences in terms of attendance, publication. We also highlighted of peer review and how it could be improved, I hope you would find it useful Don't forget to sign up Thank you

Benjamin Gorissen "Why Do We Use Traditional Controller For Soft Robotics? Is it Really Needed In Our Research?" I find this subject is well articulated by Benjamin if you want to understand other alternatives beyond traditional control.
