Participating in Maker Faire Rome 2023 was a rewarding experience for Team HULKs. Collaborating with fellow robotics enthusiasts and showcasing our soccer-playing robots allowed us to exchange ideas and explore the latest advancements in the field. Maker Faire serves as a valuable platform for us to share our passion for robotics and engage with a diverse community of makers. We look forward to future Maker Faire events as opportunities to continue learning and innovating in the realm of humanoid robotics.

A biphasic metamaterial with simultaneous insulation of vibration and noise
A fluid-solid biphasic 3D printable mechanical metamaterial can be capable of simultaneous insulation of elastic and acoustic waves, which is essential for efficient sound and vibration isolation solutions. The structural design of biphasic periodic material is inspired by the triply periodic minimal surface lattice, which is suited to maintain the two phases separated from each other. To analyze the performance of metamaterials, dispersion relationships need to be calculated. Finite element models and optimization algorithms are applied to look for the largest realizable frequency stopband.
