🎉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

Just made first contact with our satellite PROMETHEUS-1 in collaboration with @cmurexlab.bsky.social @istecnico.bsky.social @uminho.bsky.social @cmurobotics.bsky.social @scsatcmu.bsky.social

See where our satellite is here: tinygs.com/satellite/PR...

Congrats to all the undergrad, MS, and PhD students who contributed to this from @cmurobotics.bsky.social, @istecnico.bsky.social, and @uminho.bsky.social over the past two years!
