In recent decades, origami has been explored to aid in the design of engineering structures.
These structures span multiple scales and have been demonstrated to be used toward …

In recent years, the field of soft robotics has gained much attention by virtue of its aptness to
work in certain environments unsuitable for traditional rigid robotics. Along with the uprising …

The booming wearable market and recent advances in material science has led to the rapid
development of the various wearable sensors, actuators, and devices that can be worn …

Fingertips are one of the most sensitive regions of the human body and provide a means to
dexterously interact with the physical world. To recreate this sense of physical touch in a …

Developable surfaces are commonly observed in various applications such as architecture,
product design, manufacturing, mechanical materials, and data physicalization as well as in …

The use of vibrotactile feedback, in place of a full-fledged force feedback experience, has
recently received increased attention in haptic communities due to their clear advantages in …

Origami, the art of paper folding, addresses traditionally conflicting requirements for
designing both powerful and low-cost haptic interfaces. As of today, there are no …

This work aims to provide early-stage insights into an electro-thermally actuated liquid
crystal elastomer (LCE) fiber for novel shape-changing behaviors that are both …

We present progress toward a 4-degree-of-freedom fingertip haptic device fabricated using
origami manufacturing methods. The device can deliver normal, shear, and torsional haptic …

Electrostatic fields can cause soft materials to move. This phenomena has been known
since the early days of development of electricity. Alessandro Volta notably reported …
