Development of self-folding origami sensors through the use of resistance, capacitance, and inductance
Though robotics is still perceived as a very "high-tech" field and largely associated with academia and industry, accessibility and demand for the accessibility of robots is on the rise. A variety of efforts to meet this demand include the design and manufacture of "printable" robots through the …

Design and analysis of active fluid-and-cellular solid composites for controllable stiffness robotic elements
… an improvement compared to past efforts in soft robotics, which often involved modifying the infrastructure of current, rigid robots to yield softer ones. This latter approach often faced the challenges of developing actuators that were "soft" but still discrete, and were limited in performance. …

Design and analysis of jammable granular systems
… This thesis explores the utility of jamming for robotic manipulation applications, both at a fundamental level of understanding how granular properties affect the performance of jammed systems, and at a more applied level of designing functional robotic components. Specifically, the purpose of …

The Effects of a Humanoid Robot's Non-lexical Vocalization on Emotion Recognition and Robot Perception
As robots have become more pervasive in our everyday life, social aspects of robots have attracted researchers' attention. Because emotions play a key role in social interactions, research has been conducted on conveying emotions via speech, whereas little research has focused on the effects of …
