SHErobots Cafés: Soft Medical Robots & Soft Maritime Robots
21 mei 2024 12:45 t/m 14:00 - Locatie: TU Delft Library, Main Hall | Zet in mijn agenda
Please note: SHErobots Cafés will consist of demos, talks, and Q&A from 12.45 – 14.00h with free lunch for registered guests in the Main Hall of the TU Delft Library (unless otherwise noted).
Join Aimée Sakes (ME) & Jovana Jovanova (ME) to learn more about the design of physically flexible robotics used in maritime and surgical environments, defined by the inspiring researchers working on this topic here on campus.
Demos: Surgical devices inspired by wasps, octopus, and shrimp

About the researchers
Aimée Sakes is an assistant professor at the Biomechanical Engineering Department (BMechE – BITE group), where she earned both her MSc and PhD titles with honors. Additionally, she is board member of the Applied Sciences domain of the Dutch Research Council (NWO AES). In her research, she translates robust solutions from nature into smart mechanical systems for solving challenging problems in the medical world.
Jovana Jovanova is assistant professor in mechanical engineering at Delft University of Technology. Her research is focused on large-scale adaptive metastructures, mechanisms and machines. She also develops model-based design frameworks for adaptive machines and large-scale soft robots.
