  • Multi-modal deformation and temperature sensing for context-sensitive machines

    Nature Communications 14 (1), 7499

    Owing to the remarkable properties of the somatosensory system, human skin compactly perceives myriad forms of physical stimuli with high precision. Machines, conversely, are often equipped with sensory suites constituted of dozens of unique sensors, each made for detecting limited stimuli. Emerging high degree-of-freedom human-robot interfaces and soft robot applications are delimited by the lack of simple, cohesive, and information-dense sensing technologies. Stepping toward biological levels…

    Owing to the remarkable properties of the somatosensory system, human skin compactly perceives myriad forms of physical stimuli with high precision. Machines, conversely, are often equipped with sensory suites constituted of dozens of unique sensors, each made for detecting limited stimuli. Emerging high degree-of-freedom human-robot interfaces and soft robot applications are delimited by the lack of simple, cohesive, and information-dense sensing technologies. Stepping toward biological levels of proprioception, we present a sensing technology capable of decoding omnidirectional bending, compression, stretch, binary changes in temperature, and combinations thereof. This multi-modal deformation and temperature sensor harnesses chromaticity and intensity of light as it travels through patterned elastomer doped with functional dyes. Deformations and temperature shifts augment the light chromaticity and intensity, resulting in a one-to-one mapping between stimulus modes that are sequentially combined and the sensor output. We study the working principle of the sensor via a comprehensive opto-thermo-mechanical assay, and find that the information density provided by a single sensing element permits deciphering rich and diverse human-robot and robot-environmental interactions.

  • Electromagnetic actuator design for distributed stiffness

    Smart Materials and Structures

    Origami robots characterized by rigid plates linked together with flexible joints have inherent compliance and large deformations. Their low-profile design and folding mechanical transmissions provide substantial force and torque, especially for wearables and human-interactive devices. The current major limitation in the field is the need for embeddable dynamic actuation systems that produce actuation frequencies similar to human motion. In this study, we propose a novel low-profile printable…

    Origami robots characterized by rigid plates linked together with flexible joints have inherent compliance and large deformations. Their low-profile design and folding mechanical transmissions provide substantial force and torque, especially for wearables and human-interactive devices. The current major limitation in the field is the need for embeddable dynamic actuation systems that produce actuation frequencies similar to human motion. In this study, we propose a novel low-profile printable electromagnetic actuator that can be integrated into thin large robotic surfaces made of rigid panels and into the streamlined pushbutton manufacturing process. We use already existing variable stiffness joints to demonstrate the scalability and distributable properties of the proposed actuation system on a locally controllable variable-stiffness distributed surface.

  • Minimally Actuated Transformation of Origami Machines

    IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters

    Origami-inspired machines are a promising approach to robotic transformation. In this letter, we present a new method for transformation that uses dynamic response to change the mountain-valley fold pattern. We propose a dynamic model and validate it through experimental characterization of sample mechanisms. We demonstrate that these mechanisms reliably change their dynamic behavior at a discrete switching frequency, and this frequency can be changed by varying the stiffness and mass of the…

    Origami-inspired machines are a promising approach to robotic transformation. In this letter, we present a new method for transformation that uses dynamic response to change the mountain-valley fold pattern. We propose a dynamic model and validate it through experimental characterization of sample mechanisms. We demonstrate that these mechanisms reliably change their dynamic behavior at a discrete switching frequency, and this frequency can be changed by varying the stiffness and mass of the mechanism. This indicates that mechanisms can be designed to respond to different frequencies and selectively transform from a global input. We demonstrate a three-fingered gripping mechanism with a single actuator that can transform between four nontrivial configurations. We believe that this approach can be applied to several types of origami structures.

  • Design and control of a low profile electromagnetic actuator for foldable pop-up mechanisms

    Sensors and Actuators A: Physical

    Thin foldable origami mechanisms bring miniaturization and reconfiguration of complex structures allowing large volumetric change, low cost and versatility. Many applications require small robots with multiple capabilities including movement, sensing and communication. One of the major design constraints in these systems is miniaturization, in particular actuator down-scaling. To meet the challenges, researchers have focused both on investigating designs that use high power to size ratio…

    Thin foldable origami mechanisms bring miniaturization and reconfiguration of complex structures allowing large volumetric change, low cost and versatility. Many applications require small robots with multiple capabilities including movement, sensing and communication. One of the major design constraints in these systems is miniaturization, in particular actuator down-scaling. To meet the challenges, researchers have focused both on investigating designs that use high power to size ratio actuators as well as defining novel fabrication methods that aid reduced size component integration.
    This paper presents a novel approach for designing and controlling a low profile electromagnetic (EM) actuation system that can provide high speeds and easy control. Additionally, the system can be embedded in miniaturized foldable mechanisms. We report here the modelling of the low-profile EM actuator and its design.
