Towards Fluent Interaction with Cyber-Physical Architecture

What happens when your walls begin to move? This paper explores the design of human-robot interaction for architectural-scale, shape-changing environments. We present findings from two studies: (1) a series of speculative design workshops (N=20) that uncovered aspirational visions for these spaces, and (2) a task-base…

Towards Unobtrusive Physical AI: Augmenting Everyday Objects with Intelligence and Robotic Movement for Proactive Assistance

Users constantly interact with physical, most often passive, objects. Consider if familiar objects instead proactively assisted users, e.g., a stapler moving across the table to help users organize documents, or a knife moving away to prevent injury as the user is inattentively about to lean against the countertop.…

Sculptable Mesh Structures for Large-Scale Form-Finding

It can be hard to design a physical structure entirely within the confines of a computer monitor. To better capture the interplay between real-world objects and a designer’s work-in-progress, practitioners will often go through a sequence of low-fidelity prototypes (paper, clay, foam) before arriving at a form that sa…

Transforming Everyday Objects into Dynamic Interfaces using Smart Flat-Foldable Structures

Dynamic physical interfaces are often dedicated devices designed to adapt their physical properties to user needs. In this paper, we present an actuation system that allows users to transform their existing objects into dynamic physical user interfaces. We design our actuation system to integrate as a self-contained l…

ConeAct: A Multistable Actuator for Dynamic Materials

Complex actuators in a small form factor are essential for dynamic interfaces. In this paper, we propose ConeAct, a cone-shaped actuator that can extend, contract, and bend in multiple directions to support rich expression in dynamic materials. A key benefit of our actuator is that it is self-contained and portable as…

Constraint-Driven Robotic Surfaces, at Human-Scale

Robotic surfaces, whose form and function are under computational control, offer exciting new possibilities for environments that can be customized to fit user-specific needs. When these surfaces can be reprogrammed, a once-static structure can be repurposed to serve multiple different roles over time. In this paper,…

Vibrosight++: City-Scale Sensing Using Existing Retroreflective Signs and Markers

Today's smart cities use thousands of physical sensors distributed across the urban landscape to support decision making in areas such as infrastructure monitoring, public health, and resource management. These weather-hardened devices require power and connectivity, and often cost thousands just to install, let alone…
