Soft robots can be made from common, low-cost materials [4]. Thenascent field allows for novel contributions from young students. The field is highlyinterdisciplinary, drawing on traditional mechanical and electrical principles to use new materialsfor human-centered, biomedical applications [5]. Students from many disciplinary backgroundscan bring their engineering foundation to the group and contribute in unique ways.

IRES programs seek to develop globally connected future researcherswhile also facilitating broader long-term collaborations between U.S.-based and internationalresearch groups. Faculty and student exchanges are expected to result in international linkagesbetween the researchers that bring new insights and methods to U.S.-based research projects,leading to transformative research.

Topics coveredduring the course fall into 4 major categories: (1) Knowledge, Reasoning, Planning, andUncertain Knowledge, (2) Learning and Philosophical Foundations, (3) Communicating,Perceiving, and Acting, and (4) Ethics and Risks. Previously, the authors have used the “flipped”classroom concept in courses.
