    Cubimorph: designing modular interactive devices

    Published on May 4, 2016

    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 mobile phone shifting into a console when
    a user launches a game. We present a design rationale that exposes user requirements to consider when designing
    homogeneous modular interactive devices. We present our Cubimorph mechanical design, three prototypes demonstrating
    key aspects (turntable hinges, embedded touchscreens and miniaturization), and an adaptation of the probabilistic
    roadmap algorithm for the reconfiguration.
