We are pleased to announce the program of the 31st TOP Webinar, a thematic session on “Topology optimization of soft robots”. It is scheduled for the 23rd of May 2024, 11:00-12:00 CEST (UTC+2) Time zone converter.
(Please note the change to the common time.)
Following our new format, introduced in January, each webinar will revolve around a specific theme, comprising an educational/review paper (20 minutes) and two latest articles (10 minutes x 2) related to the same topic. The entire session will last for 1 hour.
