Low-Power Robotic Actuation for Soft Systems
• The actuator operates on just 3 watts, similar to a cellphone signal.
• Maintains consistent performance with no loss after repeated activation cycles.
• Enables wireless motion for soft robotics, prosthetics, aerospace structures, and deployable defense and exploration systems.
Computer-Aided System for Airborne Contaminant
• Helps integrate airflow considerations into design process to meet codes and safety standards
• Provides airflow data in near real-time, allowing designers to quickly check impact of choices
• Saves design time and reduces building and maintenance costs
Light-Emitting Nanoparticle Sensor System
• Detects localized stress and pressure with greater sensitivity compared to conventional sensors
• Abundant silicon enables safe, scalable sensing deployment
• Luminescence provides instant readings without structural damage
