8. Soft robotics
inspirations
The Youtube Videos from de MIT channel was fascinating.
SAMUEL POINCLOUX ↓↓↓ PHD research on the physical properties of the knit stitch.
Some interesting website, where you can find tuto/explanations on Soft robotic :

String test
After seeing those videos :
I was completely mad by the idea of creating bounces with nylon string.
Tools
- Nylon Yarn : You can find it at a fishing shop, they have more strengh.
- Pince
- Drill machine
- Heat gun
- Coton yarn (whatever, a yarn you like for weaving)
- Weight (from the knitting machine)
!!! Warning !!! I did not succed on creating bounce with Nylon... BUT at least, I tried !
Workflow
The difficulty was to find the correct distance, pull strengh between the drill, the nylon yarn and my hand that pulling the yarn with a pince.
First I did a test with a very thin nylon yarn.

I decide to change and bought a new nylon yarn more thicker because, my samples were too small to see any changes with the heat gun and I wasn't able to make one more longer.

The second try was a fail too, without knowing why, when I approach too much the heat gun to the nylon, it started to unroll on itself. So I decided to make a weaving to for instance "blocked" the unroll action, with beeing sure on my idea.
...
Everything falled because of the heat, with no solutions to fix the problem I decided to stop the experimentation :/

Muscles test
videos inspirations of what I wanted to experiment :
The artificial muscle was developp by Mc Kibben Mc kibben
Workflow 1 → knitted muscles → fails ? → yes

footnote fabrication files
Fabrication files are a necessary element for evaluation. You can add the fabrication files at the bottom of the page and simply link them as a footnote. This was your work stays organised and files will be all together at the bottom of the page. Footnotes are created using [ ^ 1 ] (without spaces, and referenced as you see at the last chapter of this page) You can reference the fabrication files to multiple places on your page as you see for footnote nr. 2 also present in the Gallery.

Code Example
Use the three backticks to separate code.
// the setup function runs once when you press reset or power the board
void setup() {
// initialize digital pin LED_BUILTIN as an output.
pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);
}
// the loop function runs over and over again forever
void loop() {
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH); // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
delay(1000); // wait for a second
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW); // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
delay(1000); // wait for a second
}
