Haptic Intelligence News 22-08-2023 Blog: Creating the Tools to Conserve our Wildlife Conservation tools vary, but are united in their potential to aid conservation of wildlife We have published a perspectives piece on the different tools used throughout the world that are aiding in conservation of wildlife, and helping preserve the biodiversity of our planet. The perspectives highlight advances in technology, including both hardware and software, as well as frugal resources that are changing the way animals are conserved. For researchers and persons interested in learning about the ways conservation technology and tools are created and the foundational building blocks this piece serves as a starter guide to the field.

Physical Intelligence News 18-08-2023 Soft Robotic Tool provides new 'eyes' in endovascular surgery The magnetic device can help visualise and navigate complex and narrow spaces Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Stuttgart have developed a soft robotic tool that promises to one day transform minimally invasive endovascular surgery. The two-part magnetic tool can help to visualise in real time the fine morphological details of partial vascular blockages such as stenoses, even in the narrowest and most curved vessels. It can also find its way through severe blockages such as chronic total occlusions. This tool could one day take the perception of endovascular medical devices a step further.

Robotic Materials News 31-07-2023 3D display could soon bring touch to the digital world A new, shape-shifting display can sense and respond to human touch. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems and the University of Colorado Boulder have developed a soft shape display, a robot that can rapidly and precisely change its surface geometry to interact with objects and liquids, react to human touch, and display letters and numbers - all at the same time. The display demonstrates high performance applications and could appear in the future on the factory floor, in medical laboratories, or in your own home. Brian Johnson Christoph Keplinger

Haptic Intelligence News 13-07-2023 Haptic Intelligence Keeping in Touch with Research at World Haptics 2023 Director Katherine J. Kuchenbecker and 24 other current members of the MPI-Haptic Intelligence (HI) Department presented an abundance of their current research projects at the 2023 IEEE World Haptics Conference (WHC) at the Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) in Delft, Netherlands. Dr. Yasemin Vardar, a former HI Department postdoctoral researcher and current Assistant Professor at TU Delft, helped organize the conference as Local Arrangements Chair. WHC combines EuroHaptics, AsiaHaptics, and the IEEE Haptics Symposium (North America) every other year. The HI team presented posters for six work-in-progress (WIP) papers, posters for two IEEE Transactions on Haptics (ToH) articles, a talk for one World Haptics technical paper and three hands-on demonstrations. Dr. Kuchenbecker also served on the four-person Editorial Board that managed the review of all ToH short papers and technical papers submitted to the conference. Additionally, HI’s brand-new CaCTüS intern, Moaaz Mughrabi, supported the conference as a student volunteer by helping participants check in, get accustomed to the presentation rooms, and set up their posters and demos.

Physical Intelligence News 20-06-2023 Schuppentier die Inspiration für Medizinroboter Roboter besteht aus Metall und ist dennoch weich und flexibel Wissenschaftler*innen des Max-Planck-Instituts für Intelligente Systeme in Stuttgart haben einen magnetisch gesteuerten Softroboter entwickelt, der wie der Körper eines Schuppentiers einen einzigartigen, flexiblen Körperbau aufweist. Der Roboter ist trotz eingebauter harter Metallelemente frei beweglich. So kann er je nach Magnetfeld bei Bedarf Wärme abgeben und seine Form an die jeweilige Aufgabe anpassen, z.B. Ladung aufnehmen und selektiv freisetzen oder Blutungen stillen. Die Forschungsarbeit wurde am 20. Juni 2023 im Fachjournal Nature Communications veröffentlicht.
