Silicone sheet with sixteen domes filled with ferrofluid, next to a one-centimeter scale
Flexible robotics / Simulation

A silicone bubble filled with ferrofluid as a haptic actuator

A coupled magneto-mechanical model in COMSOL and sealed prototypes of a soft actuator that deforms with a magnet. The numerical prediction has not yet been checked against measurements.

Aluminum device with a hinge and a cutting button, held in one hand
Digital fabrication

A pocket device for cutting and joining filament offcuts

A cutter with a guided blade and a heated aluminum mold join lengths of 1.75 mm PLA. The cut works in 90% of cases; the joint holds in fewer than half.
