Foldable robotics is accepted as one of the leading technologies in the soft robotics field. Integrating the sensing components, including hinge angle proprioception, into the robot with a single fabrication method is a part of the field’s ultimate goal. Here we present a cheap single-step method for angle sensing integration into the hinges, with...

In this paper we present the lamination curing as a stand-alone method to activate the silver nanoparticle (Ag NP) inkjet printed angle sensors on a 0.14 mm PET substrate, with a desktop printer. (With the term “lamination curing”, we refer passing the printed sample through a lamination machine, without any actual laminating purpose, only for curi...

This paper introduces the characterization study of a new actuator design -“Adhesive Pillar Based Air Levitation” (APAL) system- to manipulate fine objects in a non-destructive manner. A meso-scale polymer adhesive pillar array manages to gently contact the fine surfaces and moreover adapt variable interface geometries. Air flow, which is fed throu...
