FLYING SQUIRREL ROBOT
Dynamic Robotics Lab Undergraduate Researcher
- Invented the method to fabricate wide and thin silicone membrane (up to 50 µm with small thickness tolerance)
- Specialized in creating the wing of the flying squirrel
- Participated in overall design and assembly of the robot and conceived of the tail design
- Conducted numerous gliding tests and wind tunnel tests
- Experimented with SMA (Shape Memory Alloy) for application in robotic systems
FLEXIBLE HAPTICS PAD
Intelligent Motion Laboratory
- Matrix array circuit connects multiple Flexiforce piezo-resistive sensor modules
- Flexible and soft silicone packaging with stiffer rubber back pads inside for effective load distribution
- Capable of simultaneously sensing multiple touch points, force range, and locations
- Highly scalable
SMP TESTBED
Seok Kim's Lab
- Multipurpose testbed for testing properties of SMP (shape memory polymer) samples under various conditions
- Vertical constraint eliminates unnecessary horizontal load
- Weight can be placed stably on platforms
- Moment load can be measured using the hinge mode and sliding adherend platform
- Accommodates samples of different sizes, dimensions, and shapes
