by Daekwon Park & Woong Ki Sung Inspired by the hydro skeletons and muscular hydrostats in nature (e.g. elephant trunk, starfish, octopus arm, etc.), the kinematics are based on the combination of elastic material body actuator and pneumatic pressure feedback system. [Module and Power Source Feedback Loop] [Kinetic Study Process Sketches] [Table of Kinetic types, [...]
Sam Jacoby WHAT Passive capacitive sensors can be made out of just about anything that holds charge. Paper, for it’s versatility, lightness, strength, and accessibility, is a natural space to explore. A capacitive paper sensor consists only of a conductive substrate, sandwiched between layers of conventional paperpulp–in this case, cotton. MATERIALS The sheet is formed from interwoven [...]

Felt Sensors Since this is a pretty new area to me. I wanted to better understand different types of sensors. I experience with making a stretch sensor, a bend sensor and pressure sensors in lab. The idea of touching and sound gave me the inspiration to create something that allows people to communicate with each [...]
So I wanted to see if I can make something useful, and also challenge myself in terms what I had not done before (I must say a great portion of this class has already done that).
Overview Once again, my project was motivated by my curiosity to explore interesting and unfamiliar territory. I decided to see if I could make my own capacitive sensor and then use it in a project of some sort.
By Daekwon Park This project is essentially a research conducted as a precursor to the final project.
