Here is our presentation slides, which include the images: Heat actuator Water Crystallization SMALL Water droplets were frozen at -78C for 10-30 minutes, before being imaged under 625x microscope. Some water droplets were subjected to negative pressure for the freezing process (.5 and .33 atm respectively), and their crystal size compared with 1atm frozen water. [...]
Having done research on soft robotics actuated by air, I wanted to create a simple device that will allow me to test and play with jamming with various fluid instead of air. I was inspired by the Japanese soft robotics hand that we showed last week. The voiceover and subtitles explains how this works, where [...]
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, [...]
