Joint-repositionable Inner-wireless Planar Snake Robot
Ayato Kanada, Ryo Takahashi, Keito Hayashi +8
Bio-inspired multi-joint snake robots offer the advantages of terrain adaptability due to their limbless structure and high flexibility. However, a series of dozens of motor units…
Demo of picoRing mouse: an ultra-low-powered wireless mouse ring with ring-to-wristband coil-based impedance sensing
Yifan Li, Masaaki Fukumoto, Mohamed Kari +4
Wireless mouse rings offer subtle, reliable pointing interactions for wearable computing platforms, but the small battery below 27 mAh in the miniature rings restricts the ring's c…
Plug-n-play e-knit: prototyping large-area e-textiles using machine-knitted magnetically-repositionable sensor networks
Yifan Li, Ryo Takahashi, Wakako Yukita +7
Prototyping electronic textile (e-textile) involves embedding electronic components into fabrics to develop smart clothing with specific functionalities. However, this process is s…
Friction jointing of distributed rigid capacitors to stretchable liquid metal coil for full-body wireless charging clothing
Takashi Sato, Shinto Watanabe, Ryo Takahashi +6
For full-body wireless power transfer (WPT), a liquid metal (LM)-based meandered textile coil has been proposed. Multiple rigid capacitors must be inserted in a long coil for effic…
