Three years and countless visitors later, the RBO Hand is still going strong! First on the MS Wissenschaft [3], the RBO Hand exhibit is now part of the "Mission AI" at Deutsches Museum Bonn. Try it out! https://deutsches-museum.de/bonn/ausstellung/mission-ki [4]

Check out the latest "Video Friday" by IEEE Spectrum! It features our recent update on the acoustic sensor reading Braille patterns. Link: https://spectrum.ieee.org/video-friday-robot-guitar [5]

We had a great retreat at the Ökoschloss Tornow! No Zoom meeting can outweigh in person discussions in a beautiful place :)

Oliver Brock participated in the Soft Robotics Podcast for the second time! Do not hesitate to check out his interesting conversation on "Co-Design of Soft Robots" [7] with Marwa Eldiwiny.

Welcome to our newest members of the RBO team: Vito Mengers [8] and Oussama Zenkri [9]!

Some exciting new results of our acoustic sensing technology by Vincent Wall! Reading Braille [10] seems to be no problem at all!

You want to get started with acoustic sensing yourself? Have a look at our starter kit: https://www.robotics.tu-berlin.de/menue/software_tutorials/acoustic_sensing_starter_kit/ [11]

Oliver Brock participated as a panelist in the Soft Robotics Debate on "Exploratory Research vs. Application Oriented Solutions". [12]

We are happy to announce that our surprising results on dexterous manipulation with the RBO Hand 3 have been accepted to RSS 2021!
