The Living Hollow is a first-of-its-kind mycelium-based artificial tree hollow. Natural tree hollows can take over a century to form, yet habitat loss has created severe shortages. Grown from mycelium fused with 3D-printed wood, this biodegradable composite offers native gliders a natural hollow’s material familiarity, thermal comfort and predator protection.
Mechamimicry: A Prototyping Toolkit for Human-Robot Interaction Design
The Mechamimicry Prototyping Toolkit is a modular, sensor-embedded human-robot interaction prototyping toolkit that lets organisations physically simulate robot-assisted workflows through puppeteering, bodystorming, and roleplay methods before investing in real hardware. This human-centred design approach enables embodied, situated, and participatory human-robot interaction design across clinical, industrial, and educational contexts.
