Mechanical Engineering TU Eindhoven

Do you think of robots as hard machines, that can only act if they're told to do so? Think again! Soft robots are completely different. Our main expert in this new and exciting field has been awarded an Early Career Award by the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW).

Congratulations 🎉 to Bas Overvelde!
