Degradable Magnetic Composites from Recycled NdFeB Magnets for Soft Actuation and Sensing
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This work presents a degradable soft magnetic composite made from recycled NdFeB particles embedded in a gelatin‐based organogel. The material is processed into magnetic sensors and soft robotic components, which can later be dissolved in a green solvent to recover NdFeB magnetic particles.

Force-Guiding Particle Chains for Shape-Shifting Displays
, 2014 We present design and implementation of a chain of particles that can be programmed to fold the chain into a given curve. The particles guide an external force to fold, therefore the particles are simple and amenable for miniaturization.

Distributed algorithms for shape sculpting of lattice-arrayed modular robots via hole motion [PDF]
, 2013 A self-reconfigurable modular robot can change its own shape by rearranging the connectivity of the modules of which it is composed. In this paper, we focus on a two-dimensional lattice-arrayed self-reconfigurable modular robotic system.

Mechatronic design of a modular self-reconfiguring robotic system [PDF]
Proceedings 2000 ICRA. Millennium Conference. IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation. Symposia Proceedings (Cat. No.00CH37065), 2002 Design and implementation of I-Cubes, a modular self-reconfigurable robotic system, is discussed. I-Cubes is a bipartite collection of individual modules that can be independently controlled. The group consists of active elements, called links, which are 3-DOF manipulators capable of attaching to/detaching from the passive elements (cubes) acting as ...
