SRMC (Soft Robotic Modeling and Control: Bringing Together Articulated Soft Robots and Soft-Bodied Robots) is a full day workshop organized in the context of IROS2018, in Madrid, Spain.
The main aim of the workshop is to inspire new approaches in modeling and controlling of articulated and continuum soft robots. We will bring together recognized experts in both modeling and control of soft robots, trying to answer questions such as: to which extent techniques and principles developed for articulated soft robots can be extended to the control of continuously deformable soft robots? In return, what methods developed for soft-bodied robots find application in the other field? What are the remaining problems that will require a specific treatment and analysis? Which are the new challenges in these fields? Selected experts will give talks on the relevant topics.
