Cubimorph: Designing Modular Interactive Devices

Paper at ICRA 2016. Roudaut A., Krusteva D., McCoy M., Karnik A., Ramani K,, Subramanian S. We introduce Cubimorph, a modular interactive device that accommodates touchscreens on each of the six module faces, and that uses a hinge-mounted turntable mechanism to self-reconfigure in the user’s hand. Cubimorph contributes toward the vision of programmable matter where interactive devices reconfigure in any shape that can be made out of a chain of cubes in order to fit a myriad of functionalities, e.g. a mobil
