Soft Robotics FabLab

 

Our fabrication lab is dedicated to handling and processing soft materials. It features a fume cabinet for safe material preparation, high-performance mixers, and a strong vacuum chamber for degassing and material processing. A direct ink writing system supports custom material deposition, while a weld-and-cut platform and film applicator enable precise fabrication and handling of thin and flexible materials.

Soft Robotics TestLab

In this controlled environment, we evaluate the performance of our robots under a wide range of conditions. The lab is outfitted with motion capture systems for tracking complex movements, a universal testing machine for mechanical characterization, and dedicated setups for measuring friction. A UR5 robotic arm and precision tables support repeatable experiments, while high-resolution sensors capture locomotion dynamics, interaction forces, and material responses with great accuracy.
