Shape morphing is a continuous deformation in time between two shapes (curves,
surfaces,...). For planar curves, most efficient methods for blending between two closed …

This paper presents a rigidity-preserving morphing technique that blends a pair of 2D
shapes in a controllable manner. The morphing is controllable in two aspects: 1) motion …

Soft robots offer many advantages that traditional robotic systems do not. Soft robotic
systems are able to safely interact with their environment and tolerate large deformations …
