This week our team was finally able to all be back in person 🥳👍 so we immediately went into factory mode. We tested various things including, final design, layering, and other things. As we tested, we realized that it would be much better for us to later the channels to have no fluid transmission between

First explored shape actuation — however, the insides were not all glued together properly. We placed a deck of cards on top to ensure that it was going to stick but someone removed the deck and so the insides were all not connected and did not make the shapes we wanted. Instead, it just had

What is the goal? This soft robot will be able to convey emotions of confusion from their host. We will detect the pulse of the person and when it beats faster – the robot will be triggered and start to move to evoke a sign. This robot would be used in classroom settings for students

There are two things that I would like to look into. First, I would like to look into learning origami or new techniques like bubble casting to create a soft robot. From there, the idea of creating an interactive ecosystem is extremely interesting. Combining these two directions would be extremely fun! I think that the

Corolla – the weather responsive coworking pods Influenced by soft-robotic principles, they used flexible materials that will be able to change to outdoor weather conditions. This co-working pod is meant to link indoor and outdoor working for all year round in any locations. The pod is made of modular steel structure which is covered by

I am curious to see how this type of interaction can be used in the context of soft robotics. Would it be possible to create
