UW and UCLA engineers have developed a flexible sensor 鈥渟kin鈥 that can be stretched over any part of a robot鈥檚 body or prosthetic to accurately convey information about shear forces and vibration, which are critical to tasks ranging from cooking an egg to dismantling a bomb.

A more efficient and clean wood-burning cookstove 鈥 developed by Vashon Island’s BURN Design Lab and UW mechanical engineers 鈥 will reduce the amount of fuel families need to collect or buy by 55 percent. It will also reduce exposure to the harmful particulate pollution produced by traditional cooking flames.
