SSoRo - Seminar on Soft Robotics
Module Description
The students will learn the main aspects and challenges of soft robotic technology. They will understand the main features and design solutions currently adopted in soft robotic systems, the technologies used for their actuation and sensing, as well as a basic knowledge of soft robots modeling and control. Students will learn to present and report on a topic related to the area of soft robotics with their personal reasoning and interpretation. They will analyze an individual test problem, conduct individual studies and/or simulations, and discuss the results with the audience.
The participants will prepare individual seminar topics on soft robotics based on the provided reference material. They will analyze the literature, apply existing software to a given test problem as an application, and present their results to the group and document them in written form.
