A new batch of Annelid worms (Phascolosoma stephensoni) collected by CoNISMa have arrived at @HcmrImbbc. It's time to study their morphology and anatomy through the micro-CT technology to improve the knowledge necessary to develop the mathematical models. #robotics #marinescience

Researchers from @ScuolaSantAnna building a video set up with photocamera and lights to study the behavior of Phascolosoma stephensoni in an aquarium whose subrate recalls the sand. The objective is to obtain the parameters to develop a digital model to work on. #mapworms #Robots

As time goes by, MAPWORMS team never stops working.
At the BioRobotics Institute of @ScuolaSantAnna, PhD student Ilaria Cedrola takes us on a journey through laboratories, scales and precision. #mapworms #science #HorizonEU

The switchable-stiffness of these hydrogels lead to very interesting functions such as shape-memory, self-healing, controlled load-release, and temporal mechanical-bending applications. #shapememory #innovation #robotics
The Prof. Willner’s group from HUJI (Israel) is responsible for the design and characterization of stimuli-responsive hydrogels with stiffness-switchable functions for the worm's autonomous actuations. @HebrewU #hydrogel #scienceproject

The set of data is then transferred to Prof. Antonio De Simone group from the Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna that mathematically model them in order for Prof. Arianna Menciassi group to actually build a robot out of it, to mimic the marine worm's movements. @ScuolaSantAnna #Robots

The Luigi Musco group from CoNISMa follows the behavior of our marine worms, while Dr. Kleoniki Keklikoglou from Hellenic Centre for Marine Research provides micrometer structural insights into the structures of the worms, using cutting edge ultra-high resolution 3D imaging. #3d

The MAPWORMS project takes inspiration from nature to advance robotics field, and specifically macroscopic soft robotics.
One of the main advantages of the project, relative to other biomimetic robots that were developed, is the interdisciplinarity collaborative work. #Robotics

Living Machine is approaching and MAPWORMS is one of the sponsors. Workshop "Worm-inspired machines", organized by Professor Arianna Menciassi, Linda Paternò and @VeronicaIacova1, will see the participation of many experts from all around the world. #mapworms #biomimetic

Video showing Phascolosoma stephensoni, one of the species inspiring MAPWORMS in the development of a robot capable to respond to external stimuli.
Just like these worms extrovert, retract and protruse their body in response to the environment threaths. #robot @HcmrImbbc
