MOE-Hair was a fantastic collaboration led by @uksang.bsky.social , contributing a balance of technical methods and human studies to advance soft robot hair care. My favorite observation from a participant was that they "don't have to talk to [a human stylist]." Is this a limitation for future work?
🎉Excited to share that our paper was a finalist for best paper at #HRI2025! We introduce MOE-Hair, a soft robot system for hair care 💇🏻💆🏼 that uses mechanical compliance and visual force sensing for safe, comfortable interaction. Check our work: moehair.github.io @cmurobotics.bsky.social 🧵1/7

Super fun project lead by @ycyao.bsky.social. I'm still amazed by the result--a soft robot learned to perform a dynamic non-prehensile in-hand manipulation without sim, sim2real, or data-hungry algorithms.
Can soft robots rapidly spin pens like humans?🤔 We’ve shown that soft robot hands can master the dynamic tasks of pen spinning—no hours of GPU training or complex sim-to-real needed! Check out soft-spin.github.io. 🤖✍️ @cmurobotics.bsky.social .
