On Thursday, 16 April 2026, BENDABL participated in Future Ready 2026 in Brussels as part of the SWAG project. The event brought together researchers, innovators, industry representatives and policymakers to exchange ideas on how AI, data and robotics can accelerate innovation and strengthen Europe’s technological future. Future Ready 2026 was designed to showcase project outcomes, […]

SWAG and SoliDAIR : Robotics Beyond the Lab The most interesting robotics projects are often the ones focused not only on innovation itself, but on how technology can work in real conditions and respond to real needs. That is what makes SWAG and SoliDAIR worth looking at together. SWAG is developing soft wearable exosuits designed

PALPABLE and SWAG spotlight the growing potential of soft robotics Soft robotics continues to gain ground as a field with the power to transform how technology supports people in high-precision, high-impact environments. Two Horizon Europe projects contributing to this momentum are PALPABLE and SWAG, each advancing new approaches to human-centred robotic interaction through flexible systems,

A Unified Framework for Soft Inflatable Fabric Actuators A newly published study, “A Unified Framework for Soft Inflatable Fabric Actuators”, by Odysseas Simatos, Konstantina Tsintzira, Grigorios M. Chatziathanasiou and Panagiotis Polygerinos from SWAG partner Hellenic Mediterranean University, presents a major step forward in how soft inflatable fabric actuators can be designed and understood. Soft inflatable

SWAG Plenary Meeting in Munich Highlighted Progress Towards Integrated Wearable Robotics SWAG partners met in Munich on 11–12 December 2025 for the project’s M26 Plenary Meeting, hosted by the Technical University of Munich at the Siemens Technology Center Garching. The meeting marked an important point in the project, bringing the consortium together to connect ongoing

SWAG and TUBERS underline the expanding reach of soft robotics Soft robotics is increasingly proving that its potential goes far beyond a single field of application. Across Europe, new research is showing how soft, adaptive robotic systems can respond to very different challenges ; from supporting human movement to inspecting and repairing critical infrastructure. Two

SWAG hosted hands-on workshop on CEINMS-RT On 29 October 2025, SWAG hosted an online hands-on workshop dedicated to CEINMS-RT, an open-source platform for real-time neuro-mechanical model-based control of wearable robots. The session focused on how the platform can be used to support wearable robotic systems such as exoskeletons, exosuits, and bionic limbs. The workshop offered
