STIFF-FLOP @ the British Science Festival: Birmingham: 6th Sept 2014
Find out about the STIFF-FLOP project which aims to create a robotic arm based on an octopus tentacle, allowing us to innovate and push the boundaries of current medical robotics technology and providing solutions with real benefits for patients and surgical staff. Join members of the Centre for Robotics Research, Kings College London to experience…
STIFF-FLOP: 1 of 5 Cool Robots funded by the EU
Prior to the festival, Robot Safari received excellent coverage in Design Week, the Daily Telegraph and Mail Online. It also received a prominent half-page listing in Time Out London. As the festival opened, further coverage appeared, including in Phys.org, Gizmag and Popular Science. The BBC published a video online with footage from the festival and…
STIFF-FLOP at the Science Museum
During the European Robotics Week, at the Science Museum in London we’ll meet swimming, flapping or crawling robots mimicking real animals. The EU-funded STIFF-FLOP project will be showing a robotic arm inspired by the softness and agility of an elephant’s trunk and by the octopus’ ability to find food by exploring small cavities in rocks.…

STIFF-FLOP goes wild during Robot Safari at the Science Museum London
This November, Robot SafariEU at the Science Museum will explore the fascinating world of biomimetic robots. Beginning on Wednesday 27th November at Lates and continuing over the weekend (30 Nov – 1 Dec), visitors can trek through the un-natural habitats of these robots, interacting with creatures that swim, flap, and crawl, in a unique safari…
The Rise of the Robosapiens Posted By Maria Fox and Thrishantha Nanayakkara
Technological developments move fast, and if the trend continues, it won’t be long before humans and robots are working side by side in home, field, and factory environments. Our society has to be prepared (more here).
STIFF-FLOP/SAFROS Workshop “Safety in Robotic Surgery” at the Hamlyn Symposium June 25th, 2013
This workshop aims at summarizing the results and on going discussions within some of the EU-funded projects in robotic surgery, such as SAFROS, STIFF-FLOP, Active and uRalp. Although patient safety in all types of surgery seems an obvious concept, the close examination of patient safety in the specific case of robotic surgery raises a number…
