The article "This soft
robotic gripper can screw in your light bulbs for you" introduces how in
2017, a team of engineers at the University of California San Diego designed
and built a soft robotic grip and its features. The soft robotic gripper can
"pick up and manipulate objects without needing to see them and needing to
be trained." It has three fingers made of pneumatic chambers with many
degrees of freedom allowing manipulation of the held object. A smart sensing
skin made of silicon rubber with embedded sensors made of conducting carbon
nanotubes covers each of these three fingers. The sensing skin records and
detects the nanotubes conductivity changes as the fingers bend. The data is
then processed by the control board, which then creates a 3D model of the
object the gripper is manipulating.
Subject: Self-introduction to Professor Brad Dear Professor Brad, My name is Adley Pereira, and I am writing this introductory letter to share more about myself. I am a student in your Effective Communications (MEC1281) class. I graduated from Singapore Polytechnic in 2017 with a Diploma in Mechanical Engineering and served my National Service for the following two years before commencing my degree in mechanical engineering at the Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT). I chose to study engineering as it often fascinated me how machines function since I was a child which eventually led me to pursue my interest professionally. I believe that communication is important regardless of what industry we are in as we constantly need to interact with our peers on a day to day basis, and how we do so will influence our daily lives. It does not matter if I am the best engineer if I cannot explain my ideas to my peers and my superiors. I feel that that through my experience as a ...
