Electropermanent magnetic connectors and actuators : devices and their application in programmable matter
… economical to fabricate, we want to use electromagnetic direct drive, rather than clockwork, to actuate the particles. Previous attempts to fabricate small scale (below one centimeter) robotic systems with electromagnetic direct-drive have typically run into problems with insufficient force or …

Design and development of functional foot for agile and dynamic legged robots
… designs that work on porous surfaces and ferromagnetic surfaces to tackle these challenges in two approaches. Specifically, this work first introduces the foot design that utilizes two different foot pads (a rubber pad and micro-spine arrays), which can be switched based on the slip condition …

Shape formation by self-disassembly in programmable matter systems
… and actuation. The modules employ unique electropermanent magnet connectors. The four connectors in each module enable the modules to communicate and share power with their nearest neighbors. These solid-state connectors are strong enough for a single inter-module connection to support the …
