Past-aware material networks towards tomorrow’s textile robots
Textile Past-a-Bots will materialize future’s interaction interfaces between humans, other species, machines, and their environment. The foundations for this will be done by crafting active yarns into functional textile motifs, for simple sensing, computing, change in dimensions or in mechanical properties. Past-a-Bots can be dynamically assembled using these motifs, integrating the ability to detect sounds, vibrations, and proximity. The multi-sensorial functionalities allow for an ecocentric approach by combining dominant sensing pathways of diverse species. In PAST-A-BOT, desired functionalities emerge from the intricate and interdependent optimization of chosen materials, yarn…
