MIT & Harvard Create Affordable Artificial Muscles

MIT`s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory have collaborated with Harvard`s Wyss Institute to create a strong and affordable artificial muscle. Artificial muscles are materials that contract and expand the way muscle fibers do. These materials could potentially find application in the field of robotics, as well as the automobile and aviation industries. The invention could even be used to create robots that could possibly lift up to 1000 times their weight. Artificial muscles have so far been quite expensive to produce. However, engineers have found a simple and affordable way to create an artificial muscle, as reported by MIT News. But how is it possible? The researchers use an ordinary nylon fiber that is being shaped and heated, following specific procedures. It is quite simple, taking no more than 10 minutes, and using materials that cost around $1. The artificial muscle can mimic some of the bending motions that natural muscle tissues can perform. Some polymer fiber materials, including highly oriented nylon, have an unusual property: “they shrink in length but expand in diameter”, when heated, as Seyed Mirvakili, a doctoral candidate in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, told MIT News. Using this property, the researchers can make some linear actuator devices. Nevertheless, a mechanism like a pulley and a takeup reel should be used to turn the linear shrinking motion into bending. What the MIT team did differently was directly harnessing the motion without the use of extra mechanical part. Additionally, the researchers found that the material can maintain its performance after at least 100,000 bending cycles, meaning it is a long-lived material. The researchers explain it simply in the video. More information about the project is available at the following link. Read the full article

BJØRVIKALEIRE LAB på KHiO

I to uker har jeg i samarbeide med studenter fra fagområdet keramikk, avdeling kunst og håndverk på Kunsthøgskolen i Oslo arbeida med lokal leire fra Bjørvika både håndverksmessig og konseptuelt. Vi starta med en tur til Dronning Eufemieas gate i Bjørvika for å kikke på bygningsarbeidet og all blåleira. Etter det dro vi innom M20 atelierfellesskap i Mosseveien, der jeg arbeider og utvikler prosjektet til daglig.

Jeg hadde forberedt arbeidet og gravd opp leire fra en av Feiring Bruk AS sine lokasjoner utenfor Oslo som jeg tok med til KHiO. Denne leira gikk vi igang med å bearbeide og tilsette forskjellige materialer i. Vi blandet opp en grunnmasse i en stor rugbrødmikser og tilsatte blant annet chamotte, nylonfiber, cellulose og dolapix for å få oppnå modelleringsmasser, støpemasse og dreiemasse. Noen valgte å arbeide med leira uten å tilsette noen ting. Studentene arbeidet med  individuelle prosjekter og tanker rundt hva det vil si å arbeide med leire fra et spesifikt sted. De hadde mange gode idéer og utviklet spennende uttrykk ved å bruke leira på forskjellige måter. Vi avslutta prosjektet med en utstilling utenfor resepsjonen, der vi også laget en plakat med sitater fra alle studentene. https://khio.no/events/281

BJØRVIKA CLAY COURSE at OSLO NATIONAL ACADEMY OF ART

For two weeks I have been working with students from the ceramics department at Oslo National Academy of the Arts. I hosted a workshop in how to use local clay from Oslo both practically and conceptually. We started out with a field trip to the area of Bjørvika where a lot of construction is going on and where some of the clay is being dug out from. We also went to my studio in the same area to see how I have been working with the clay so far. Back at KHiO we started mixing, sifting, adding materials to the clay (I had already brought the raw clay to the school in advance).  We made a throwing clay body, sculptural clay bodies and casting slip adding ball clay, bentonite, chamotte, nylon fiber, cellulose and dolapix. Some students worked with the clay without adding anything. The students developed their own projects based on testing the different clay types and thoughts around site sensitivity. A lot of interesting expressions came out of the project and we finished the two weeks by making an exhibition of our research. https://khio.no/events/281
