DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Michael M. Lerch\nhosted by Friedrich Stricker\nAbstra
 ct: urrent robotic technologies\, despite advances in AI\, are inherently 
 limited by the underlying hard materials. To make robots useful for co-wor
 k\, medical interventions\, and care\, future robot bodies need to be soft
 \, which requires new approaches on how to control their motions and coord
 inate their operations. Stimuli-responsive materials are at the heart of a
  materials revolution in robotics and recent advances in chemical feedback
  control have enabled ever more complex material behaviors. In this lectur
 e\, I will present some of our work on chemically-driven actuators and int
 elligent materials. Specifically\, I will discuss how molecular design and
  chemical reaction networks enable unexpected behaviors and how these can 
 be harnessed for macroscale motions.
