Squishy Robotics was highlighted in a National Science Foundation (NSF) video. This latest video, Research to the Rescue: 4 Awesome Discoveries You Probably Didn’t Hear About, illustrates how NSF funding has helped advance technologies that show promise for disaster mitigation.

With the start of the 2020-2021 academic year, Squishy Robotics welcomed eight UC Berkeley Master of Engineering (MEng) students to our engineering team. Typically, MEng students apply to different UC Berkeley-affiliated companies or laboratories to work as interns to gain industry experience as part of their one-year master’s program.

Squishy Robotics Lead Mechatronics Engineer Douglas Hutchings was invited to give a presentation about Squishy Robotics’ commercial products and ongoing work adapting our sensor robots for military needs at the xTech 3 Summit.

Squishy Robotics was featured in a recent National Science Foundation (NSF) video highlighting our R&D work that was funded by an ongoing NSF Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II grant awarded in 2019.

Squishy Robotics is building and testing some BIG robots—some are 47-inches in diameter and can carry payloads more than 7 times the size of our 22-inch sensor robots that are being used by first responders for persistent HazMat monitoring during emergencies.

Military officers from 19 different countries toured Berkeley SkyDeck in late February as part of a West Coast visit to technology companies and government agencies. The 25 military officers (all with ranks of captain or colonel) are currently attending the National Defense University (NDU) in Washington, D.C.
