Temperature design display device to use peltier elements and liquid crystal thermograph sheet "Thermo-Pict"
"Thermo-Pict" is a design apparatus produced by applying temperature visualization technology linked to an information display with the use of a thermograph sheet. Thermography is used to visualize the surface temperature of objects through their depiction as colors. This technology has been used primarily in the medical and research fields. Thermography display colors come in a wide range of hues and brightness that enables quick visualization of any object's surface temperature distribution. Use of this technology will be attempted as a tool in the production of design displays. [Fig. 1]
Ketsuro-Graffiti: An Interactive Display with Water Condensation
In this paper, we propose a novel interactive display, Ketsuro-Graffiti, that provides information with water condensation. Recently, a lot of substantial displays have been proposed that utilize various types of physical material. These displays enable users to touch each pixel freely. Water condensation exists ubiquitously in daily life, and drawing on it is familiar. Therefore, a display with water condensation achieves an intuitive and familiar interaction between users and information. We propose a method to control generation and evaporation of water condensation and implement two prototypes of Ketsuro-Graffiti using peltier devices. One prototype uses an open loop control system and the other uses a PID closed loop control system with thermistors. Our evaluation of system performance indicates that both prototypes can control generation, evaporation, and thickness of water condensation.
Study on workspace analysis and simulation of 6-DOF painting robot based on monte-carlo method
Comparing recent kinds of methods working on robot workspace when we design to calculate the workspace of 6R painting robot,we bring Monte-Carlo method to analysis the workspace according to the actual working condition. With robot Tool Center Point(TCP) position aggregate via the solution of forward kinetic equation,Monte-Carlo method analysis and simulate painting robot workspace efficiently.
