Morphology Extension Kit: A Modular Robotic Platform for Customizable and Physically Capable Wearables. |
Abstract | ||
|---|---|---|
Robotic and shape-changing interfaces hint at a way to incorporate physical materials as extensions for human users, however, rapidly changing environments pose a diverse set of problems that are difficult to solve with a single interface. To address this, we propose a modular hardware platform that allows users or designers to build and customize physical augmentations. The process of building an augmentation is simply to connect actuator and sensor blocks and attach the resulting wearable to the body. The current design can be easily modified to incorporate additional electronics for desired sensing capabilities. Our universal connector designs can be extended to utilize any motors within afforded power, size, and weight constraints. |
