Then\, he will briefly introduce the work done at the soft robotics lab of Khalifa University\, highlighting the challenges and opportunities within the field. Along the way\, he will touch upon several prominent concepts in soft robotics\, from bioinspired design principles down to advanced geometric mechanics topics. \n URL:/event/soft-robotics-a-random-walk-from-bioinspiration-to-geometric-mechanics LOCATION:Virtual END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
