Remanufacturing of Turbine Blades by Laser Direct Deposition with Its Energy and Environmental Impact Analysis
Abstract: Laser direct deposition provides an attractive and cost effective means for repairing or remanufacturing high value engineering components. This study demonstrates the successful repair of defective voids in turbine airfoils based on a new semi-automated...
HexaMorph: A Reconfigurable and Foldable Hexapod Robot Inspired by Origami
Abstract: Origami affords the creation of diverse 3D objects through explicit folding processes from 2D sheets of material. Originally as a paper craft from 17th century AD, origami designs reveal the rudimentary characteristics of sheet folding: it is lightweight,...
ChiroBot: Modular-Robotic Manipulation via Spatial Hand Gestures.
Abstract: We introduce ChiroBot, a cyber-physical construction kit that allows users to create custom robots out of craft material, easily assemble the robots using joint modules and control them using hand gestures. These hand-crafted robots are assembled using our...
