Meaning of "in-situ design": Design objects with regard to real-world reference. (not focus on fabricability in the following suggested scenarios) Content of application scenarios below: Domestic interior design: furniture External design: architecture Large-scale design: space rocket mod...

I have added time remaining functionality to the power consumption board that I have. However, it is not refined and therefore has a few caveats for use. The program assumes that the battery is at full charge upon program start. While there is no current through the sensor, the time remaining wi...

Origami technique advantages: lightweight compact scalable etc Origami limitations: lack of structural stiffness malfunction caused by weight difficult to get satisfied design Examples Zhang et al. 2016: continuum robotic arm. This origami arm can prov...

This week i fabricate a defender balloon. It's made of two sphere balloon while there is net between them.

I'm upgrading my 1d binary hypothesis testing algorithm to sampling based n-d binary hypothesis testing algorithm: Right now, I'm verifing a sub-function "sampling from probability distribution - nd" using the following verification flowchart: I've finished 1-d test, moving on to 2-d test. T...

For the past week, I mainly focused on paper writing. Firstly, I worked with Chang to revise the paper, titled 'Computational Design and Fabrication of Corrugated Mechanismsfrom Behavioral Specifications'. We plan to submit the paper to IROS with RAL option. On the other hand, I am revising...

This week, I compare two different motor configuration as shown below. The test is run under the setup: A commander controls the blimp to touch both sides of the wall and then go to its starting position, the time cost is recorded. Each configuration of the motors will be tested 10 times...

I implemented the preintegration techniques from this paper. In order to implement the preintegration, the underlying optmization problem structure is also change. To be precise, previously, we optimize all the IMU data point, but now we only optimize the keyframe. The trajectory plot show t...

Introduction What's the goal for this specific project? Building lightweight corrugation structures that satisfy stiffness requirement while optimize the weight (as low as possible). What have been accomplished so far and what will be accomplished? (1) We have developed easy-to-use analy...

This past week I have developed a framework for motor feedback control using IMU (orientation) data. I first wrote scalable motor control software for interfacing with the tb6612. A quick test operation can be seen below. Motor Test: Your browser does not support the video tag. I then integr...
