Specifications include, but are not limited to: This computational WholeGarment flat knitting machine will be used to support one of the research threads conducted in Dr. He’s research group – Design & Engineering for Making (DE4M) Lab. The research thread will be led by the post-doc, who is funded by Purdue Computes and Institute for Physical Artificial Intelligence at Purdue for two years, under Dr. He’s mentorship. We expect to carry out research outcomes primarily on computational knitting and fabrication for physical intelligence, such as healthcare and personal fabrication. The research outcomes will be published as peer-reviewed conference papers and journal articles, potentially developed to grant proposals for external funding. The chosen knitting machine is Shima Seiki MACH2XS153 is a unique programmable knitting machine produced by Shima Seiki company.
