Scientists have developed a realistic #zebrafish simulation that can replicate how real larval zebrafish maintain their body position in flowing water, providing insight into the circuits guiding adaptive #visuomotor behaviors. @BIOROB_EPFL scim.ag/3J96s7n

Many thanks for sharing this! Also many thanks to Stefan Schaal and Jun Nakanishi (co-authors and co-winners of the prize) + the IEEE selection committee + all of you who have used or cited DMPs (dynamical movement primitives) over the years.
In 2002, @BIOROB_EPFL co-presented a study on movement imitation in humanoid #robots at the @IEEEorg International Conference on Robotics & Automation. The impactful work recently won Most Influential Paper at @ieee_ras_icra 2024. Congratulations! Paper👉 ieeexplore.ieee.org/document…

A quadruped robot trained with #machinelearning by @EPFL_en researchers has learned to avoid falls by spontaneously switching between walking, trotting, and pronking – a milestone for roboticists as well as biologists interested in animal locomotion. actu.epfl.ch/news/trotting-r…

Bravo Alexandros!!
ÇA c'est de l'efficacité! Another colourful journey of 1-guilla! This time in an intensive 3-minute talk (in French!) Big thanks to my French "coaches" @gaetan_raynaud and Alice Bruel. [video coming soon] @UNFoLD_EPFL @BIOROB_EPFL

When the @BBC commissioned 2 reptilian #robots from @BIOROB_EPFL for a documentary in 2016, the scientists never imagined how testing the devices in uncontrolled environments would change their approach to #roboticdesign. @KMRoBoTa @SciRobotics @EPFL_en actu.epfl.ch/news/harsh-fiel…
