Create a pressure sensor using: – Needle-felted wool – Thin muslin – Velostat – Conductive thread This sensor can be used an analog input for Arduino code. Step 1: Prepare the Core Components Component 1: A felted wool ball. This can be made using unwoven wool (I used Leicester wool), a felting needle, and a […]
Building a future where robots work alongside humans relies heavily on soft robotics. Typically this means there will be an air compressor or a hydraulic system nearby, taking up precious space. But it doesn’t have to. Engineers at the UC-San Diego Jacobs School have created a soft robotics system that uses electricity to control flexible actuators,
ELECTRICITY MAKES SOFT ROBOTICS MORE LIKE US MEATBAGS Continue Reading
