Passively Adaptive Radiative Switch for Thermoregulation in Buildings
Charles Xiao, Bolin Liao, Elliot W. Hawkes
With the ever-growing need to reduce energy consumption, building materials that passively heat or cool are gaining importance. However, many buildings require both heating and coo…
A light- and heat-seeking vine-inspired robot with material-level responsiveness
Shivani Deglurkar, Charles Xiao, Luke F. Gockowski +2
The fields of soft and bio-inspired robotics promise to imbue synthetic systems with capabilities found in the natural world. However, many of these biological capabilities are yet…
Thermodynamically-informed Air-based Soft Heat Engine Design
Charles Xiao, Luke F. Gockowski, Bolin Liao +2
Soft heat engines are poised to play a vital role in future soft robots due to their easy integration into soft structures and low-voltage power requirements. Recent works have dem…
Field-mediated locomotor dynamics on highly deformable surfaces
Shengkai Li, Yasemin Ozkan Aydin, Charles Xiao +6
In many systems motion occurs on deformed and deformable surfaces, setting up the possibility for dynamical interactions solely mediated by the coupling of the entities with their…
