For this first model, I wanted to explore the folding abilities of perforated cardboard. So, I scored alternate sides of a strip of cardboard and threaded a string…
The first small sample I made was a simple 4-bar linkage. However, by attaching it to the first join of the thumb, there is a lot more flexibility…
Building off of one of my samples last week, I wanted to continue exploring the movements of the spine and its structure. For this experiment, rather than using…
In this assignment, I was challenged to create a mechanical structure that showed a symbiotic relationship between the structure and a movement found in the human body. As…
The two smaller linkages are controlled by the mouth, while the two larger ones are controlled by hand from below. Although there is no direct mechanical connection, due…
For this exercise, I created three samples and focused on them being in a symbiotic relationship with the body. By symbiotic, however, I did not necessarily intend for…
This first experiment uses a four-bar linkage to control an actuator using a pinching motion. I was interested in seeing how I could extend the motion through two…
In this exploration I made moving hair inspired by Medusa of Greek mythology. I used triangular pieces of paper to make 4 curling flexure structures. Each of them…
I wanted to explore how I could use one string to manipulate motion in two directions. I had fun testing out different lengths and cuts in the tendon…
