‘Soft Tactile Logic’ Tech Distributes Decision-making throughout Stretchable Material

Inspired by octopuses, researchers including Michael Dickey, NC State's Alcoa Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, have developed a structure that senses, computes and responds without centralized processing — creating a device that is not quite a robot and not quite a computer, but has characteristics of both. The new technology holds promise for use in a variety of applications, from soft robotics to prosthetic devices.

Inside NC State’s Leading-Edge 3D Printing Hub

Deep inside Daniels Hall, activity at the Center for Additive Manufacturing and Logistics (CAMAL) is pushing the boundaries of 3D printing — and helping faculty and industry take their work to the next level. The multidisciplinary hub brings together students, industry partners and faculty like Ola Harrysson, Edward P. Fitts Distinguished Professor in the Edward P. Fitts Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering and co-director of the CAMAL, to solve complex problems. What may seem like a relatively new technology has been around for more than three decades, and NC State has been a long-standing leader in the space.
