When Muscles Think -- Workshop at iROS 2026
The ThinkingMuscle Workshop 2026 is a specialized forum held in conjunction with IROS 2026, focusing on the intersection of biomechanics, neuromuscular control, and robotics. It brings together researchers to present and discuss innovative work on muscle-inspired actuation, modeling, and control strategies for robotic systems.
