Fit for purpose: the right model for the right robotic task

If you have a question about this talk, please contact Fulvio Forni .

This talk will explore the role of models within the context of soft robotics for grasping, sensing and locomotion. From the perspective of experimental-based research and field robotics, the talk will delve into reduced-order models as tools for designing and deploying robots in sensory deprived environments; continuous models for leveraging soft bodies and to increase sensing capabilities; and multi-body models to improve grasping effectiveness. An open discussion on what defines a soft robot, what experimental robotics is, and how robotics is similar to – or different from – other scientific disciplines will conclude the talk.

The seminar will be held in the JDB Seminar Room, Department of Engineering, and online (zoom): https://newnham.zoom.us/j/92544958528?pwd=YS9PcGRnbXBOcStBdStNb3E0SHN1UT09
