I am delighted to announce that my ERC Consolidator proposal ProteusDrone will be funded.
The general goal of the project is to create novel, metamorphic soft drones that can change their body like the Greek shape shifting sea god Proteus.

Please join us at MRS Fall meeting today and Wednesday for our talks on Physical AI and Soft Aerial Robotics for perching, physical interaction and multi-modal locomotion
@Empa_CH @ImperialRobots
Our group will be presenting at #F23MRS
@Materials_MRS! Please come watch the talks on Monday (27th) and Wednesday (29th).
It will be Prof. @MKovacRobotics and I, on two different days. Repping @Empa_CH and @imperialcollege.

A new approach to #3dprinting - led in its development by @MKovacRobotics from @imperialcollege and #Empa uses flying robots, known as drones, that use collective building methods inspired by natural builders like bees and wasps. bit.ly/3LBS9oA
Delighted to share our new paper in Nature on Aerial Additive Manufacturing, aka 3D printing with drones.
The paper can be viewed here: rdcu.be/cV2wR
