Design of Two Morphing Robot Surfaces and Results from a User Study On What People Want and Expect of Them, Towards a "Robot-Room"

Nithesh Kumar, Hsin-Ming Chao, Bruno Dantas Da Silva Tassari, Elena Sabinson, Ian D. Walker, Keith E. Green
ICRA 2024poster

We propose, examine prototypes of, and collect user input on morphing robotic surfaces, "robot-room" elements that, individually or in combination, change the functionality of the rooms we live in, directly controlled by the room’s occupants engaging with it. Robot-rooms represent an advance in huma…

A Continuum Robot Surface of Woven, McKibben Muscles Embedded in and Giving Shape to Rooms

Grace Tan, Harrison Hidalgo, Hsin-Liu Kao, Ian. D. Walker, Keith E. Green
ICRA 2022poster

Robots are typically designed as occupants of rooms, adapting to, and navigating within them. “Robot surfaces,” an emerging robot typology, are not occupants of but integral with rooms, physically shaping rooms to support human activity. We report on an advancement of robot surfaces formed by weavin…

Simulating Ocean Wave Movement in a Soft Pneumatic Surface

Alexandra W. Steelman, Elena B. Sabinson, Isha Pradhan, Aratrika Ghatak, Keith E. Green
IROS 2021poster

It is well understood that nature has a calming effect on us. But in a physical space remote from nature, might the robotic embodiment of a natural phenomenon have the same effect? To address this question, we have simulated the soothing movement of ocean waves in a soft robotic surface, both as a s…

Design and Characterization of a Novel Robotic Surface for Application to Compressed Physical Environments

Yixiao Wang, Chase Frazelle, Richa Sirohi, Liheng Li, Ian D. Walker, Keith E. Green
ICRA 2019poster

Developments of robot arms are countless, but there has been little focus on robot surfaces for the reshaping of a habitable space—especially compliant surfaces. In this paper we introduce a novel, tendon-driven, robot surface comprised of aggregated, overlapping panels organized in a herringbone pa…

Motion Planning for a Continuum Robotic Mobile Lamp: Defining and Navigating the Configuration Space

Zachary Hawks, Chase Frazelle, Keith E. Green, Ian D. Walker
IROS 2019poster

We discuss motion planning in the configuration spaces of robots containing continuum elements. The configuration space structure of extensible continuum sections is first analyzed, with practical constraints unique to continuum elements identified. The results are applied to generate the configurat…
