This course consists of a series of seven lectures given by researchers who have distinguished themselves in the area of Robotics, Systems, and Controls.

This course offers a hands-on introduction to robotic materials with a focus on the material-​centric approach to create devices and robots with soft materials. Throughout the course, parallel lectures and labs will introduce soft materials and mechanisms for soft actuators, sensors, and systems for robotic and biomedical applications.Project-based labs will work towards a final robotic challenge.
