Epilepsense - Angelicka Barbie | Sarah Eckerlein @_sara__he :
Epilepsense: The focus is on coping with everyday life for people with epilepsy.
The product idea aims to detect epileptic seizures early through the use of EEG technology and trigger a warning message via the smartphone.
Epilepsense consists of a head mesh with integrated electrodes measuring different brain waves and a bracelet that monitors vital signs and includes a medication pump. The early warning system enables individuals to prepare for impending seizures, alert bystanders, and ideally prevent the epileptic fit. Epilepsense is not only functional but also comfortable, weather-resistant, and seamlessly integrates into any clothing style.

Ro - Janne Kreimer @jannekreimer :
"I can`t do this, I`m afraid." Many of us experience this feeling in various situations. Fear is a natural biological process where adrenaline, noradrenaline, and cortisol are released to protect ourselves. Excessive fears, however, can hinder, restrict mobility, and promote avoidance behavior. Ro is like a hug, an inconspicuous companion on the journey to facing fears. It combines Deep Pressure Stimulation (DPS) and targeted activation of acupressure points by applying soothing pressure to the body. Ro generates targeted pressure through integrated air cushions, forming a system of organically shaped soft robots. Users can regulate the air pressure themselves according to body posture and needs, inflating and deflating Ro in everyday life. Whether it`s fear of flying, exam anxiety, or performance pressure - Ro helps. "I did it."

We are proud and happy to announce the opening of two new research positions within our new project „Autonomous Materials: Interface to a Technical System, Multisensory Interaction and for the Generation of Emotion, Safety and Trust“, to complement the expertise of three disciplines researching und creating dynamic materialities and their multisensory interaction.
We are looking forward to applications for one Research Associate (m/f/d) in the field of large-scale FGF 3D printing, to further develop the fused granular fabrication technology (FGF) for the production of smart and textile-based materials, as well as for one Research Associate (m/f/d) in the field of Physical Human-Machine Interaction for orchestrating the material behavior with smart sensing and actuation, and the evaluation of their emotion-related properties via user studies.
About the Project:
The interdisciplinary research project "Autonomous Materials" aims to produce shape-changing, dynamic, and smart materials for intuitive, multisensory interactions, particularly focusing on functional surfaces and textiles within spatial contexts. Central to its objectives is the creation of transformative materials and surfaces serving as haptic interfaces to foster an emotional connection between users and autonomous products or technologies.
A pivotal element of this initiative lies in the collaborative, transdisciplinary development of a comprehensive composite material and human-machine interface, drawing upon expertise in material design, physical HMI, and 3D printing technology. Within this collaborative framework and network of expertise, a diverse array of geometries, topologies, and large-scale smart material systems will be designed, offering varying integration levels of interaction, dynamics, and functionality. Additionally, transfer options e.g. into the automotive and textile industries, will be explored and induced.

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.”
