In the project "Active Soft Robotic Suction Device for Deep-sea Application" (ASDDSA, part of SPP2100), the match is researching soft, environmentally adaptable actuator systems for rock sampling in the deep sea. Our research associate Cora Maria Sourkounis has now been able to successfully place the progress made in the project in two high-ranking publications at the IEEE International Conference of Robotics and Automation 2024 (ICRA 2024) and in one at the 7th IEEE-RAS International Conference on Soft Robotics (Robosoft 2024). The three publications present the different concepts for setting up and actuating the sampling process.
