pixelskin

Sequel to PixelSkin01, PixelSkin02 is developed as a modular surface made up of robotic pixel-tiles as its generic unit. Unlike electro-optic media in PixelSkin01, this surface concept features Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) actuated triangular panels. Each tile consist of 4 such triangular panels with integrated SMA wire. Surface embedded micro-controller controls the opening of each pixel-tile by adjusting power-supply 20 times per second. Depending on the supplied opening-coefficient, each set of four panels acts as a pixel (255 states between fully open and fully closed). Technique called multiplexing allows to individually control the opening of each pixeltile; generating this way, a surface-wide mechanism capable of simulating low-resolution images, patterns or animations.
