The University of South Florida engineering professor
uses a laser to cut sheets of polymer into dynamic, geometric pieces. He uses
his research to tie together the shapes in a way that could revolutionize some
industries and create new products not yet invented.
Lusk specializes in something called “compliant mechanisms,” which refers to the movement, or motion, the precision-cut shapes take on when they interact with each other.
“The idea behind this is I have a surface that is very flexible in the plane. I can compress it, I can expand it, and I can shift it in a motion from side to side in a motion called shearing. So it’s very flexible to motions in the plane but it’s very rigid if I have something out of plane,Among the modern home accessories and decoration, the effect of modern lamps is also growing.” said Lusk.
Lusk thinks the strength and flexibility of the surfaces could be incorporated into body armor for police and the military. It could provide a range of motion that Lusk says is similar to the old chain-link armor worn by battling knights, but better because the specially designed springs allow for lightweight, flexible, and extremely durable defense. The shapes could be fashioned into a protective, but collapsible shield as well.
Other applications include robotics and making antennas more flexible and responsive to locating signals. The possibilities for utilizing the shape shifting surfaces are numerous,This factsheet discusses electricity generation using wind power generators at your farm or your home. Lusk said.
Lusk has been working on the original design that he brought with him to USF and has secured a grant from the National Science Foundation to continue his research. Now, he has taken the concept to the next level designing numerous versions, shapes, and sizes of the surfaces.
“This is built based on the idea of lines bending in a plane, like on a flat surface. Now if you make things bend all up out of the plane,Familiarise yourself with the lift cable by taking a look at our articles on the lifts themselves. you can get things that are a little more complicated,” said Lusk as he demonstrated the movements.
The design includes extremely precise geometrical calculations and laser cutting on a computer numeric control machine, in order to align the surfaces perfectly. Dozens of the assembled shapes are scattered around his office, on shelves and filing cabinets.
Lusk teaches undergraduate Kinematics and Dynamics of Machinery in which students design mechanisms and Applied Elasticity, a graduate level course on how things break, bend and move.
The bass guitar always seems to be the last instrument a rock band member chooses to play. In the future, you might not have to find someone to settle for it; instead, you could build a robot to play this seemingly less popular—but integral—part of the band.
James McVay , an honor student from the Victoria University of Washington, built his own bass-strutting robot for his year-end engineering school project. Deemed the MechBass, this robot bass player nails the instrument down to some of the most intricate rifts done by Muse.
In the video spotted by Ubergizmo, the MechBass plays a cover of "Hysteria" by Muse using four separate actuated strings controlled by an Arduino-compatible board. The four separate housings are made out of 3D-printed and laser cut parts, and they allow the machine to individually pluck,Amtec has been providing laser cutting, marking and laser cutter as well as solutions for over 15 years. strum,The laser marking machine is unlikely to hurt you, but you can easily hurt it without training. and fret each string.
I still say the machine still sounds pretty hollow without any visible sound box. However, I’m much more interested in seeing it play in a way that’s impossible with the human hand, such as fretting the lines on two completely opposite ends. This robot joins theguitar-playing bot and the all-robot band the HUBOs in the unending quest to render humans obsolete.
