πŸ† We won the 1st prize at @IEEERoboSoft competition "Democratization of soft robotics through embodied intelligence." Our soft robot Tubot costs only 3$ and harnesses environmental interactions and light sensing to achieve autonomous phototaxis. Simple robot, complex behaviors!

Discover how interacting with a soft hysteretic valve can shift it from oscillation to pressure regulation!πŸ’¨ In the Journal of Fluids and Structures, we explain this phenomenon with a coupled model. I co-first authored with @LuukVanLaake🀝🏻 βœ‰οΈ@BasOvervelde sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
