The Dutch Soft Robotics Symposium celebrates soft robotic research from the Netherlands and its surrounding neighbours. It allows researchers to share their work and connect with others through presentations, demos (which are highly encouraged!), dinner and drinks. The event will be held at NatLab, which is conveniently located in Eindhoven’s city center.
