Portraitfoto von Jun.-Prof. Edoardo Milana und ein Zitat: „Wenn wir einen wirklich intelligenten Roboter wollen, können wir nicht einfach einen Körper bestehend aus zwei oder drei Metallstäben und ein paar Gelenken nehmen und dann einen sehr intelligenten Computer hineinstecken.“

„Durch besseres Design der Roboterkörper können wir viel erreichen“, sagt Edoardo Milana @edomil.bsky.social, Jun.Prof. für Soft Machines am IMTEK&Exzellenzcluster @livmats.bsky.social. Im Interview erklärt er, wie neue Mechanik das Anwendungspotenzial der Maschinen erweitert ufr.link/soft-machines

Physical control: A new avenue to achieve intelligence in soft robotics Physical control embodies motion intelligence in soft robots via self-regulating oscillations, sequences, and reactions.

🚀 New in Science Robotics: Our Focus article on "Physical Control" in soft robots! 🤖 We discuss how soft materials nonlinearities can physically control motion, no software needed. Think oscillation, sequence, & reaction, inspired by nature. 🧠 Read more: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Had an amazing time at #RoboSoft2025 in Lausanne!
First time attending with my team from @uni-freiburg.de — so proud of everyone presenting their work!
Already excited for RoboSoft 2026 in Japan!

Adaptive locomotion of active solids - Nature The development of active solids based on centimetre-scale building blocks incorporating odd elasticity shows that they can spontaneously undergo limit cycles of shape changes, leading to adaptive locomotion such as rolling and crawling.

Electropneumatic Oscillators Using Nonlinear Inflatables In animals, self-oscillations are essential to coordinate locomotion and other bodily functions. By combining hysteretic membranes with a resistive strain sensor, an electropneumatic self-oscillator ...

Out now in Advanced Intelligent Systems, we introduced soft electropneumatic oscillators combining snapping inflatables and stretchable sensors! Heavy lifting done by Elias and Lorenzo! Congrats to the whole team @benjamingorissen.bsky.social @softroboticsgroup.bsky.social Paolo Milani!
