Soft Robotics Podcast

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.

Benjamin Gorissen "Why Does The Clamping Design Is Critical For Your Soft Actuator/Sensor Characterization?"

Benjamin Gorissen "How To Design Bending Actuator Doesn't Stretch Too Much And Still Has A Significant Deformation?" Is That Sufficient To Use Linearized Material Models for Designing? Bridging The Gap Between Loading States and Material Models?

Benjamin Gorissen "How To Access The Beneficial Material And Geometry Nonlinearities For Your Soft Robot?"

Benjamin Gorissen "What is Structural Geometry Nonlinearities And How they can be Used For Storing The Energy?"

Compelling discussion with Benjamin Gorissen, a postdoc at Bertoldi Group at Harvard. In this episode, we discuss geometry and Material Nonlinearities, and how their functionalities can be exploited instead of using traditional controller. I hope you enjoy this episode :)

Kris Dorsey "What Does Inclusion Mean To You? Why Does it Matter?"

Kris Dorsey: What Are The Most Pressing Questions For The Soft Robotics Community?

Kris Dorsey “Can We Design Soft Materials That Feel Pain? “
