Army Research Office Support for SB11 at 2024 MRS Spring Meeting in Seattle!
April 10, 2024
We are excited to announce that the Army Research Office (ARO) will be supporting Symposium SB11 - Bio-based and Biomimetic Polymers in Soft Robotics at the upcoming 2024 MRS Spring Meeting in Seattle. This symposium will delve into the integration of bio-based and biomimetic polymers into soft robotics, a transformative field poised to significantly enhance our interactions with machines in daily life and specialized environments such as underwater, space operations, and surgical procedures.
I, along with my esteemed co-organizers, extend our deepest gratitude to the ARO for their generous support. This sponsorship not only highlights the importance of interdisciplinary research in soft robotics but also enhances the overall impact of our session. We look forward to fostering fruitful discussions and collaborations in Seattle.
Thank you to the Army Research Office for their pivotal support!
