We welcome Pia Bideau [2] to our team! Pia is a postdoctoral researcher at TU Berlin and part of the Cluster Science of Intelligence. Her research aims to address the topic of how one can teach a computer to see and understand the world as we humans do.

We welcome Joanna Lenkiewicz and Friederike Fischer to RBO. Joanna is a new SHK working together with Kolja and Friederike will write her master thesis about markerless hand tracking.

Science of Intelligence (SCIoI) is hosting RBO alumni Rico Jonschkowski for a talk about "Perception in Motion" toady! We are looking forward to hear about Rico's latest research!

We are happy to announce that we extended our cluster with four Tesla V100 GPU nodes (each 32GB VRAM)!

A warm welcome to our new student assistant Nina Grabka! Nina will work with Előd on Grasping with Soft Robot Hands.

Acoustic Sensing for Soft Robotic Hands is a promising technology to obtain a rich signal from interactions with the environment. We are happy to provide the community with a comprehensive "Starter Kit" [3] to make Acoustic Sensing available to everyone!

Welcome to our new student assistants Huidong Hwang and Caroline Simek. We are all looking forward to work with you :)

Happy Birthday Előd! Even though a big party was not possible due to the circumstances, at least you got your own custom crown :)

Welcome back to Steffen Puhlmann [8]! After taking a sabbatical, Steffen will continue his research on Soft Robotic Hands.

Congratulations to Gabriel Zoeller, Vincent Wall and Oliver Brock for their accepted paper on Active Acoustic Contact Sensing for Soft Pneumatic Actuators [10] at ICRA 2020.

Welcome to our newest member of the RBO team: Xenia Thau [11]! As our new administrative assistant Xenia will take care of all administration/organizational tasks involving RBO.

Welcome to our newest member of the RBO team: Pablo Ardila. As our new lab manager Pablo will take care of the IT/robotic infrastructure as well as organization of the lab!
