Hardware platforms for socially interactive robotics can be limited by cost or lack of functionality. In this talk I will present the overall system—design, hardware, and software—for Quori, a novel, […]
Cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) are a naturally abundant polymer and have superior mechanical properties, high aspect ratios, are transparent and biodegradable, which make them attractive to be used in structural materials. […]
