It was a pleasure meeting Niklas Hagemann, a research fellow of Professor Daniela Rus's team at MIT MIT CSAIL, in our laboratory. Our conversation delved into soft robotics, electrostatic adhesion and HASEL actuator techniques.

Rare but amazing occasion where families of two soft roboticists met up to enjoy a delightful BBQ dinner. Since both of us were the BBQ-ers, we realized heat can induce interesting actuation in “biomaterials”, and colorimetric changes as well.

Awesome #Catalyst dinner with @DanielaRus @SeungJun to complete my sabbatical at MIT CSAIL , more collaborations to come! #SoftRobotics x #GenerativeAI
#RayeLab NUSBME

Delivered my seminar at MIT CSAIL! Shared about our collective #SG efforts in soft & hybrid robotics, ideas on #SoftRobot designs, mechanisms, sensing, fabrication, how we translated them into applications for healthcare, logistics, F&B industries.
#RayeLab NUSBME IEEERoboSoft

Had a hearty chat with leadership team from @Seatrium & showed them some interesting robots from #DRL MIT CSAIL. Several potential areas of synergy & collaboration between NUS, MIT & Seatrium for the deployment of robotics & AI in marine applications.
