Soft robots adapt passively to complex environments due to their inherent compliance,
allowing them to interact safely with fragile or irregular objects and traverse uneven terrain …

Soft actuators with integrated sensing have shown utility in a variety of applications such as
assistive wearables, robotics, and interactive input devices. Despite their promise, these …

The typical elastic surface or curve simulation method takes a Lagrangian approach and
consists of three components: time integration, collision detection and collision response …

We present the first computational approach that can transform three-dimensional (3D)
meshes, created by traditional modeling programs, directly into instructions for a computer …

With the recent interest in wearable electronics and smart garments, digital fabrication of
sensing and interactive textiles is in increasing demand. Recently, advances in digital …

Industrial knitting machines can produce finely detailed, seamless, 3D surfaces quickly and
without human intervention. However, the tools used to program them require detailed …

In this work, we propose a method for automatically creating a sewing pattern for a given 3D
model of a garment. In the fashion industry, the garment creation process starts from the 2D …

This paper introduces a methodology for inverse-modeling of yarn-level mechanics of cloth,
based on the mechanical response of fabrics in the real world. We compiled a database …

Industrial knitting machines are commonly used to manufacture complicated shapes from
yarns; however, designing patterns for these machines requires extensive training. We …

Understanding how professionals use digital fabrication in production workflows is critical for
future research in digital fabrication technologies. We interviewed thirteen professionals who …
