🎙️ New episode! @CosimoDella (@tudelft) takes us inside the fascinating world of soft robotics 🤖🐙 Compliance over rigidity, shape as intelligence, and why underactuation may actually be a feature — unmissable! 😄

🎙️ New episode! @DellaSantinaC takes us inside soft robotics — a young, daring field where compliance replaces rigidity, intelligence emerges from shape, and underactuation is a feature, not a flaw. A rare front-row seat to a discipline with more questions than answers. 🚀🧠

Researchers from @UofT perform extensive elastic #StabilityAnalysis of tendon driven continuum robots showing the existence of multiple robot configurations with different shapes, achievable with the same actuation inputs.

Wow, this is new! I managed to get a paper rejected by... @arxiv 🧐
They are not telling me why, and they do not seem to be willing to re-assess their decision 🤷♂️
Has anyone had this experience already? Any alternatives to ArXiv⁉️

What kind of childhood makes a top scientist? Is it enough to have all the right traits (brilliance, grit, etc) or do you need the right family too?
And why should we care? A 🧵 on our paper on the Nobel Laureates.
