From April 9 to 11, 2025, the symposium for the DFG-funded Priority Program 2100 (SPP2100), focusing on “The Future of Soft Robotics” took place in Hannover. Over the past six years, the SPP2100 on “Soft Material Robotic Systems” has been coordinated by the match. During the symposium, research findings from the 16 projects within the SPP2100 were showcased. The event attracted international experts and guests from across the globe, eager to engage in discussions and collaborations.

The symposium covered a diverse range of topics, including innovative materials for soft robotics and advances in the design, modeling, and control of compliant robotic systems. As the second funding period of the program reaches its conclusion, participants also explored future research directions and potential funding opportunities.

The event was a tremendous success, and we extend our heartfelt thanks to all guests and project partners for their enthusiastic participation and valuable contributions.
