On the other hand, for achieving a fully immersive intelligent environment, we might produce trillions of smart devices, but their current configuration (e.g., plastic housing, PCB-board) will inevitably increase environment burden. In my research, I work on creating computational materials with different encoded material properties (e.g., conductivity, transparency, water-solubility, self-assembly, etc.) that can be seamlessly integrated into our living environment to enrich different modalities of information communication, and meanwhile the material intelligence will affect devices\u0027 usefulness from a sustainability perspective (e.g., device life time).\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Cspan\u003EIn this thesis proposal, I present four finished works to scope the future pervasiveness of IoT devices, and meanwhile paying attention to their entire device life cycle. They emphasize different aspects that are crucial to construct the sustainable physical intelligence enabled environment. Silver Tape is a simple fabrication technique leveraging the inkjet printing circuits to transfer silver traces onto everyday surfaces without any post-treatment. This method allows users to quickly fabricate versatile sensors by leveraging the intrinsic material property (e.g., heat-resistive) and meanwhile the transferred sensors can be \u003Cstrong\u003Erepaired\u003C\/strong\u003E when damaged (IMWUT20). Duco is the second project that negates the need for any human intervention by leveraging a hanging robotic system that automatically sketches large-scale circuity. We have explored not only how to incorporate these computational abilities into our living structures, but also created erasable ink that allows users to \u003Cstrong\u003Eerase\u003C\/strong\u003E the circuitry and embed the surface with new capabilities (IMWUT21). PITAS is a thin-sheet robotic material composed of a reversible phase transition actuating layer and a heating\/sensing layer to create shape-changing devices that can locally or remotely convey physical information such as shape, color, texture and temperature changes. A distinctive \u003Cstrong\u003Erenewal\u003C\/strong\u003E process can be accomplished by immersing the material-actuator in ethanol, allowing the devices with new life (CHI22). My most recent project Functional Destruction aims to further promote sustainability by designing devices that \u003Cstrong\u003Eself-destruct\u003C\/strong\u003E once they have fulfilled their purpose (CHI23).\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Cspan\u003ELastly, I propose one additional study to extend the idea from Functional Destruction by developing fully recyclable circuits that can be recycled even after disintegration. Also, I will integrate our fully recyclable electronics with battery-free energy harvesting platforms that can directly gather energy from the environment (e.g., light, wind) or human interaction (e.g., press, touch).\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":"","format":"basic_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Cspan\u003ESustainable Physical Intelligence: a piece of interactive material\u2019s circular life-design, use, dispose\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"basic_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Sustainable Physical Intelligence: a piece of interactive material\u2019s circular life-design, use, dispose"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2023-03-21 19:55:26","changed_gmt":"2023-03-22 22:40:14","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2023-04-03T14:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2023-04-03T16:00:11-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2023-04-03T16:00:11-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2023-04-03 18:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2023-04-03 20:00:11","gmt_time_end_last":"2023-04-03 20:00:11","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"CODA C1315","extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"221981","name":"Graduate Studies"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
