I started with a previous paper from the course resources about Puffy the social robot that helps kids with NDD.1 It’s still new so I went to the references and found a paper about huggable robots in multi-modal spaces.2 I was curious about why robots help at all and then found a paper in the

Exercise 3
The root paper was a soft keypad sensor paper I found in the last assignment, and I was interested in novel sensing technologies that are related to skins. I used Google Scholar to find papers that cited the root paper and found the following two papers. The first paper proposed customizable on-body touch sensors for

Exercise 3
I found the root paper, Printed paper actuator: a low-cost reversible actuation and sensing method for shape changing interfaces, in the course bibliography. I am most interested in its usage of accessible material (paper), and the characteristic of reversible and electrical actuation. It is a conference paper from Proceedings of the 2018 CHI Conference, so

Exercise 3: Lateral Search
I started with the “GoQBot” article (1) from my previous post. Finding it on the CMU Library website, I clicked the link to view papers cited in it. I found a brief article called “Caterpillar Kinematics” (2), which describes the evasive rolling maneuver caterpillars are capable of doing. This movement was the biological inspiration for

Exercise 3: lateral lit search
I found this root paper in the course bibliography, then searched it by title in Web of Science. Then, I went to the Cited By section and saw 758 citations. I was most interested in the 3D printing fabrication method, so I searched the titles that cited the root for “embedded 3D printing” and found

Exercise Three: Lateral Lit Search
Starting from my previous entry for Exercise One, Soft Lego Blocks (J. Lee, J. Eom, W. Choi and K. Cho, “Soft LEGO: Bottom-Up Design Platform for Soft Robotics,” 2018 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS), Madrid, 2018, pp. 7513-7520, doi: 10.1109/IROS.2018.8593546.), I looked at their referenced work for the project. From there I

Exercise 2
Venous materials creates tangible interfaces that respond to deforming; design tools were created for people to create their own “interfaces”. Hila Mor, Tianyu Yu, Ken Nakagaki, Benjamin Harvey Miller, Yichen Jia, and Hiroshi Ishii. Venous materials: towards interactive fluidic mechanisms. In Proceedings of the 2020 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, 1–14. ACM, 2020. doi:10.1145/3313831.3376129. Small,

A hyperelastic, thin, transparent pressure sensitive keypad(12 keys) is fabricated by embedding a silicone rubber film with conductive liquid-filled microchannels and demonstrates the use of all-compliant sensing technology. R. K. Kramer, C. Majidi and R. J. Wood, “Wearable tactile keypad with stretchable artificial skin,” 2011 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, Shanghai, 2011, pp. 1103-1107,
