An Array of Humanoid Robots to Help
Mathew Schwartz, an assistant professor at the New Jersey Institute of Technology’s College of Architecture and Design, has been working on TOCABI (Torque Controlled compliAnt BIped) for eight years. His team began working on the robot’s lower legs in 2013 and the upper body design in 2016.
Core 77 Finalist
TOCABI stands for Torque-controlled CompliAnt BIped. It is 1.8 meters, 100KG and 33 degrees of freedom. The torque-control and compliance algorithms controlling the robot help make human-robot interaction safer by limiting the energy put into the motors to only what is required for the expected tasks.
Design Professor Embraces AI to Quantify Accessibility of Buildings
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but walkability could be evaluated by algorithms, according to new research from an unconventional professor in NJIT’s Hillier College of Architecture and Design.
Dezeen Feature: Mathew Schwartz creates X-ray images of flowers using a micro-CT scanner
X-ray images of flowers by researcher and designer Mathew Schwartz form the identity of this year’s Dezeen Awards. Schwartz, an assistant professor at the New Jersey Institute of Technology, used a micro-CT scanner to create the images of blooms including miniature orchids, lilies and tulips.
Working on Managing Deformation: A Step Toward Higher Robot Autonomy
New paradigms are needed to address these challenges. Therefore, the aim of this workshop is to discuss new research prospects considering the object’s deformation in various robotic applications.
NJIT VentureLink Startup Showcase Features Student Entrepreneurs: Featuring Andrew Elcock
NJIT VentureLink Summer 2020 Startup Showcase, held on July 30, featured five student entrepreneurs with business ideas ranging from the development of a training grip for lacrosse sticks to the creation of a mesh network for small drones doing reconnaissance work for the military, featuring Andrew Elcock.
NJIT Professor Elevates CT Scan Lab Work to Realm of Visual Art
For most, the stark black and white images produced through computed tomography (CT) may not ignite much imagination beyond the routine bone scans that we’d see at the radiologist’s lab. However, for NJIT Assistant Professor of Architecture and Design, Mathew Schwartz, the technology has become the creative medium by which he is building a library of digital art, steeped in the niche field of x-ray photography.
Liquid crystal shells: ‘Smart’ material enables novel applications in autonomous driving and robotics
Liquid Crystal shells, only fractions of a millimeter in size so they can easily be applied to surfaces, have several unique properties that could be utilized in engineering: As they reflect light highly selectively, they can be arranged into patterns that are readable for machines, akin to a QR code, adding coded information to objects.
How an Industrial Design Course Helped an Engineering Student Land an Internship at NASA
With only one elective left to fulfill her chemical engineering degree requirement, Monica Torralba ’18 decided to do something a little unconventional.
After talking with some friends in the industrial design department in the School of Art + Design, the Bloomingdale, N.J., native and Albert Dorman Honors College student decided to take a mechanics and electronics class.
