Welcome

Dear colleagues,

It gives us a great pleasure to present our warm invitation to participate in the 2022 Exeter International Symposium on Small-Scale Robots (EIS2022), which will be held (online) in Exeter in 20-22 June 2022.

This symposium aims to provide a forum for researchers to present, discuss and disseminate recent advances in developing small-scale robots, and the scope of this symposium includes, but is not limited to the following areas:

Dynamics and control of small-scale robots
Soft miniature robots
Swarm of micro/nanorobots and collective behaviours
Bio-inspired design of micro/nano-scale robots
Mechatronics systems for small-scale robots
Sensing and monitoring at small scale
Actuation of miniature robots
Autonomous robotics at small scale

This online event is structured into several general sessions across three days in which invited (senior) and contributing (junior) lectures are given. It is expected that the symposium participants will enjoy and benefit from this event as it will provide a platform for sharing the cutting-edge research and networking with the research leaders in small-scale robotics.

We warmly welcome you to this symposium and hope you enjoy and benefit from this event.

Yours sincerely,

Yang Liu (University of Exeter)
Kevin Chen (Massachusetts Institute of Technology)
Xiangzhong Chen (ETH Zürich)

Chairs of EIS2022

This event is proudly co-organized by Applied Dynamics and Control Lab at Exeter, Soft and Micro Robotics Laboratory at MIT and Multi-Scale Robotics Lab at ETH Zürich.
