A Fully Integrated Sensor-Brain-Machine Interface System for Restoring Somatosensation
Xilin Liu, Hongjie Zhu, Tian Qiu +8
Sensory feedback is critical to the performance of neural prostheses that restore movement control after neurological injury. Recent advances in direct neural control of paralyzed…
A Tunably Compliant Origami Mechanism for Dynamically Dexterous Robots
Wei-Hsi Chen, Shivangi Misra, Yuchong Gao +4
We present an approach to overcoming challenges in dynamical dexterity for robots through tunable origami structures. Our work leverages a one-parameter family of flat sheet crease…
Monolithic shape-programmable dielectric liquid crystal elastomer actuators
Zoey S. Davidson, Hamed Shahsavan, Amirreza Aghakhani +5
Macroscale robotic systems have demonstrated great capabilities of high speed, precise, and agile functions. However, the ability of soft robots to perform complex tasks, especiall…
Elastocapillary driven assembly of particles at free-standing smectic-A films
Mohamed Amine Gharbi, Daniel A. Beller, Nima Sharifi-Mood +4
Colloidal particles at complex fluid interfaces and within films assemble to form ordered structures with high degrees of symmetry via interactions that include capillarity, elasti…
Curvature-driven, One-step Assembly of Reconfigurable Smectic Liquid Crystal "Compound Eye" Lenses
Francesca Serra, Mohamed A. Gharbi, Yimin Luo +5
Confined smectic A liquid crystals (SmA LCs) form topological defects called focal conic domains (FCDs) that focus light as gradient-index lenses. Here, we exploit surface curvatur…
