The next generation of robots will exploit their material and morphology to move through challenging and diverse environments. 

Reaching this requires the integration of new soft/flexible robotic forms, functional materials/metamaterials and 4D printing capabilities.

This society will bring together scientists and engineers from diverse backgrounds and disciplines to discuss and promote material robotics in Australia and the pacific Region.

Its scope includes:

• Soft Robotics

• Metamaterials

• Compliant Mechanisms

• Flexible Component Design

• 4D printing
