Sci-fi author Annalee Newitz visited our lab a few weeks ago! We talked about soft robots, human-robot interaction, and their new book coming out soon πππ€
Our latest review explores how softness enables natural burrowers to move efficiently underground, and how these biological insights can advance the next generation of burrowing robots. Links to our article and video are below and in our bio!
