Reconfigurable Robotics Lab

Our recent work, “CPG-Based Manipulation With Multi-Module Origami Robot Surface,” has been published in IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters (RA-L)! We propose a novel surface-based, multi-module robotic manipulation framework that combines a CPG-based motion generator with simulation-driven optimization. This system enables manipulation of objects with varying sizes, shapes, and stiffnesses using an origami robotic surface.

Prof. Jamie Paik?will be speaking at?SXSW on "Discovering the Ideal Silhouette: The Shapes of Bots to Come." This talk explores a fundamental question in robotics—should future robots look like us, or take on entirely new forms? From charming humanoids to highly efficient machines, the evolution of intelligent hardware is shaping how we interact with technology.?What will the robots of the future look like??Join the talk at SXSW as it dives into the aesthetics, functionality, and future of robotics! https://lnkd.in/ehuQdipp #SXSW #SXSW2025 #IntelligentMachines #RobotDesign #RRL #Robotics #ReconfigurableRobots #Innovation #ModularRobotics #Technology #Research #Engineering #FutureTech #Robotics #Innovation #RobotsForScience #ScienceAndTechnology #ReconfigurableRobotics #ArtificialIntelligence #FutureOfInnovation #RoboticsResearch #Technology #ScientificDiscovery #Automation #IntelligentSystems #AdvancedRobotics #GlobalInnovation #STEM #TechForGood #WearableTech #SustainableRobots #RoboticsCommunity #TechEvents #InnovationInAction #epfl #epflengineering #epfligm?EPFL

Ski Day with the RRL Team at Les Diablerets The RRL team took a break and enjoyed a ski day at Les Diablerets! It was a fantastic opportunity to bond, recharge, and have fun in a beautiful mountain. In addition to the slopes and snow, we also had discussions about the future direction of our research on reconfigurable robotics. #TeamBuilding #RRL #Diablerets #SkiDay #Robotics #ReconfigurableRobots #Innovation #ModularRobotics #Technology #Research #Engineering #FutureTech #Robotics #Innovation #RobotsForScience #ScienceAndTechnology #ReconfigurableRobotics #ArtificialIntelligence #FutureOfInnovation #RoboticsResearch #Technology #ScientificDiscovery #Automation #IntelligentSystems #AdvancedRobotics #GlobalInnovation #STEM #TechForGood #WearableTech #SustainableRobots #RoboticsCommunity #TechEvents #InnovationInAction #epfl #epflengineering #epfligm?Jamie Paik EPFL

We are happy to welcome?Theodoros Papafotiou (Theo)?to the?Reconfigurable Robotics Lab (RRL) at EPFL?as a?doctoral assistant!
