Core Research Areas:

The animation follows the transformation of four key innovations, each representing the fusion of multiple engineering disciplines.

Interactive Haptic Surfaces (Interleaved Paper Assemblies)

• Technical Concept: A system using interleaved paper assemblies that can be selectively stiffened through vacuum-induced jamming
• Key Visuals Required:
  • Microscopic view of the paper assembly structure
  • Demonstration of vacuum-induced jamming mechanism
  • Dynamic surface pattern formation
• Critical Accuracy Points:
  • Paper layer arrangement
  • Stiffening mechanism visualization
  • Pattern formation process

Skin-integrated Haptic Feedback

• Technical Concept: A bistable mechanism using skin as an elastic, energy-storing element
• Key Visuals Required:
  • Miniature mechanism structure
  • Skin interaction demonstration
  • Array configuration and flexibility
• Critical Accuracy Points:
  • Mechanism scale representation
  • Skin deformation physics
  • Energy storage/release cycle
