The development of structures capable of both dynamic shape morphing and stiffness
modulation has significant potential in various applications. However, such structures often …

Morphing ribbons and their inverse design are usually confined to plane curves, since in
most cases only the curvature is considered. Given that curvature and torsion are equally …

Electronic skins endow robots with sensory functions but often lack the multifunctionality of
natural skin, such as switchable adhesion. Current smart adhesives based on elastomers …

Multi-stable morphing structures can be self-locked and easily actuated and can generate
impulsive motion, while thick-origami mechanisms have the practical combination of …
