SOFT ROBOTICS by MengXi Wang

In the first phase I mainly tested the entry sizes and some basic patterns for the connection parts. In the second phase I developed the basic patterns from the first phase and expanded on them by looking at the way the air moves in the cavity, in this phase I discovered the special behaviour of the S-shaped structure and tested it to disprove some initial hypotheses. In the third phase I developed and tested further based on some of the patterns I had already tested, and in the process discovered the peculiarities of the spiral cavity as it moved, and decided that the final project would be mainly about spiral and S-shaped structures. In the final stage I fine-tuned the pattern to make the entrance and the pattern more smooth, in order to prevent the cutting machine from cutting through the material. Based on the pattern and the machine characteristics, I used clear TPU to cut the S-shaped structure in the small laser cutting machine and non-transparent TPU to cut the spiral shape in the large laser cutting machine.

SYNTHETIC APPENDAGES by Mehiar Bitari

My process started off with period of trial-and-error in order to achieve an optimal collection of settings on either laser cutting machines for effectively melding the two versions of TPU. After that, I set out to test phalange-like forms and assess their interaction with several air pressures and intervals. Following various observations on the expected and undesirable reactions of the pieces my peers and I made, I started to investigate the effects of creating a sealed compartment by melding on both sides of the surface. This caused the artifact to have localized instances of increased surface tension. While I was anticipating the models to contract in both directions without any intervention, the results indicated that the piece will naturally flex on the side of higher complexity, which in this case meant more geometry and tension. Nonetheless, one advantage of these iterations was that when manually moved, the ‚limbs‘ retained their shape, causing the design to be easily manipulated. This discovery was then further probed by creating a series of small alterations in the variables within the parameters of boundary, interjection, and spacing, to test what configurations might lead to the best outcome.

FLEXIBOT by Oumaima Labben and Ezzeldeen Agha

“In this exploration of soft robotics, we delve into the realm of using flexible
materials to enable movement. Our expertise centers around the planning and
fabrication of inflatable structures known as soft robots, where we harness the
power of air pressure to dictate their behavior. By utilizing these innovative
techniques, we unlock a world of possibilities in creating dynamic and adaptable
robotic systems.
In the final product, the successful elements from these experiments were
integrated. The layers were connected at the center, and additional guiding lines
were added to enhance folding movements. This allowed for more controlled and
precise motions, transforming the design from a two-dimensional shape to
a more three-dimensional and organic structure. The final outcome was
a culmination of knowledge and insights gained from the iterative
experimentation process.”

Balance is the essence of nature, a principle that is also embodied in the work „Hy.le“ by Maurice Lötel. This biodesign focuses on a living organism, Ganoderma lucidum. The reflector of the luminaire is crafted from a composite material in which wood waste, specifically sawdust, is bound together by the fungus.
The master thesis of Jessica Bösherz explores the potential of the tinder fungus, for sustainable product design. The research operates at the intersection of design, material sciences, and biology, urging a co-creative approach with nature for future sustainable designs.
is a result of the short-project Wintermute during which we explored the possibilities of novel AI-driven or AI-supported tools for the design disciplines. More infos here: https://materiability.com/portfolio/wintermute
