Critical Reflection

Module learning At the start of the, I was unsure what this module expects as I am weak in my writing skill and presentation. In the first class, we were asked to do a survey on my peers. I was alright in socializing but was bad in collect information as I felt alright in my socializing skills. There was an assignment it was to write an introduction formal letter. It makes me think about what I would achieve at the end of the module. I want to able to achieve my writing skills so that I have good writing skills and have fewer grammar mistakes. Next able to do presentations properly so that I have fewer to no stutter. In this module, there were many times where we are required to be pair up with another random peer in the class to do an activity in the classroom. This gave me more chances to able to socialize with my peer in the classroom this also helps me to see how my peer write. As this module requires me to write it help me to gain more experience in my writing skill. As every...

  According to the article, “Soft Robotic Arm…” (2020), Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers have developed a soft robot that can know its position in a 3D environment that uses its sensorized skin. As reported by Matheson, proponents said, “they are being inspired by living organisms and is build from highly compliant materials. Soft robotic are safer, more adaptable, and more resilient alternatives to traditional rigid robots”. The soft robot can be deformed, and because it is fully autonomous, this makes it a challenge as a soft robot can move in a virtually infinite number of directions at any given moment. The soft robot has one distinctive function, which is movement, and two features that a 3-axis robot does not have, which are the fluidic actuator and the soft sensor. One of the features of soft robots is their soft sensors. Soft robots use soft sensors that are conductive silicone sheets that had been cut into kirigami patterns. These soft sensors...

  MEC 1281 Summary Analysis Draft #3 By Chan Yong Sheng 22th Feb 2021   According to the article, “Soft Robotic Arm…” (2020), Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers have developed a soft robot that can know its position in a 3D environment that uses its sensorized skin. The soft robot has its own distinctive functions and feature. One of the functions of soft robots is their soft sensors. Soft robots use soft sensors that are conductive silicone sheets that had been cut into kirigami patterns. These soft sensors have “piezoresistive” properties, that are able to change in electrical resistance when it is strained. When the soft sensors are deformed as the soft robots are stretching and compressing, the electrical resistance is converted into an output voltage that is then used as a signal correlation to that movement. Soft sensors are able to be fabricated using off-the-shelf materials. The soft sensor is been fused using plasma bonding. Plas...

  According to the article, “Soft Robotic Arm…” (2020), Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers have developed a soft robot that can know its position in a 3D environment that uses its sensorized skin. Soft robots are not ready for users as it need more testing in real world environments to have a final design. These soft robots use soft sensors that are conductive silicone sheets that had been cut into kirigami patterns. These soft sensors have “piezoresistive” properties, that are able to change in electrical resistance when it is strained.

  According to the article, “Soft Robotic Arm…” (2020), Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers have developed a soft robot that can know its position in a 3D environment that uses its sensorized skin. One the future goal of soft robots is to able to make artificial limbs that can more decorously in manipulate objects on the environment. “Think of your own body: You can close your eyes and reconstruct the world based on feedback from your skin,”(Rus,n.d). Soft robots have an advantage compared to robots with the traditional rigid design. Because of its infinite number of movements that the soft robots are able to make at any time it needs a flexible sensor . They do not rely on cameras to provide feedback which is unideal for actual soft robot applications. These soft robots use soft sensors that are conductive silicone sheets that had been cut into kirigami patterns. These soft sensors have “piezoresistive” properties, that are able to change i...

According to the article, “Soft Robotic Arm…” (2020), Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers have developed a soft robot that can know its position in a 3D environment that uses its sensorized skin. Soft robots have an own advantageous compared to the traditional rigid design. Due to its infinite number of movement that the soft robots able to make at any time is having its flexible sensors. It does not rely on cameras to provide feedback which is unideal for actual soft robot applications. Soft robots have its ability to have an infinite number of movements due to that it has its limitation in the “control”. MIT researchers built a neural network that able to do away with most of the heavy lifting by filtering out the noise to capture useful feedback signals. Now MIT researchers have developed a new type of soft robots that reduces the number of variables needed for their latest model to process. Soft robots have able to have  infinite number of movement due to t...

"Soft Robotic Arm uses flexible sensors" Summary 1st Draft

-
According to the article, “Soft Robotic Arm uses flexible sensors” (2020), MIT researchers have empowered a ductile robotic arm that bears a resemblance to an elephant trunk to comprehend its design in 3D space by make use of just movement and position information from its “Sensorized” skin. The structure of the robotic arm is approve by the professional by which it can expect its position as it swings around and extends. The robotic arm’s configuration is melded with sensors to create a profound neural network to do most of the labor work by filtering out the noise to identify the useful feedback signals. Experts want to use these soft robotic trunks, for instance, to orient and able to control themselves automatically to pick the items up and interacts with the world. A newly made model has been accepted to kinematically describe the shape of the robot by which it decreases the changes required of the professional to their design to process.  Rob Matheson (2020) “soft robotic ar...
