Description of the seminar
We in Japan have started “Science of Soft Robots” from 2018. Unfortunately the Covid-19 has brought suffering to people everywhere. In universities, our lab activities are still limited by the Covid-19. However we should overcome this situation and continue our collaborative research. In this workshop, we would like to discuss the situations of each university, research topics (DEA, EHD, artificial muscles, etc…) and the possible methods for remote collaboration.
