Congrats to Cat and Qifan for being finalists for best poster at RoboSoft this year - first student paper from the Fabrication-Integrated Design Lab! It can be hard to stick soft things together and have them stay stuck (IYKYK). Cat used flocking (fuzz) for mechanical bonds!

Excited to be in London for the first time for my birthday and a week of robotics at #ICRA2023! Hope to you here! If we haven’t met in person yet, I stick out a bit with bright pink glasses and blond hair. 🤓
