Oliver, Kurtis and Logan presented their optical sensor in the Speed School of Engineering Design and Innovation Showcase at the end of the Spring 2019 semester. They worked with super small circuit boards for our tiny new side-looking optical sensors, creating smooth and streamlined housings for our stretchable optical fibers so they can be quickly …

We are making the embroidered electromagnetic actuators more portable with a new rechargeable battery-powered compact driver board, and adding soft lightweight payloads that can spin and bounce. Such soft sculpted objects might manipulate delicate natural items like tiny seeds, feathers, and fine fibers. Their low inertia gives them a surprising speed in this real-time video. …
This is a tiny version of a bristlebot, threaded onto a copper wire. Instead of making it carry a self-contained motor and battery, we used the wire as an electromagnet to vibrate a small permanent magnet hanging below the device. Instead of toothbrush bristles, there is a goose down feather touching the wire. These ~1cm …
