About
This technology focuses on the research of 3D human modelling, parametric design, prototyping and non-traditional materials fabrication. It has the capability to utilize weaving-based solutions as a means to overcome the limitations of traditional multi-modal robotic sensors, such as poor signal localization accuracy and high costs.
By using a Full-Scale 3D Human Body Scanner that allows full body digitization of human subject with 0.2mm precision to support the formulation and analysis of a wide range of 3D human modelling schemes, we can apply our knitting instructions map or weaving map to produce personalized wearable fabrication with designated functions and/or advance mechanical properties.
With the ability to capture detailed body measurements and contours, the technology can be used to create custom-fit clothing that is tailored to the individual’s unique shape and size for produce a wide variety of clothing types.
We introduce a fabric-based sensor utilizing a new weaving technique, which significantly improves its capability to conform to complex shapes. Furthermore, a unique woven layout of conductive threads enables multi-modal sensing with tactile and proximity detection. This sensor along with AI-enhanced motion planning algorithm has been successfully tested in applications such as collision avoidance and compliance control, representing a notable advancement in the field of robotic skin research.
