A new machine-learning technique can train and control a reconfigurable soft robot that can dynamically change its shape to complete a task. The researchers also built a simulator that can evaluate ...
A groundbreaking piece of navigation technology that uses the ability to sense information through touch can help people with visual impairment perform a location task as well as sighted people, ...
Recent research has introduced a new approach to this problem by drawing inspiration from kirigami—the art of cutting and folding flat sheets into intricate shapes. By applying kirigami-based designs ...
These novel materials can change, fix, and retain their shape reversibly by using magnetic fields and ultraviolet light. (Nanowerk News) Magnetic micropillar arrays consist of tiny, vertical ...
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers have designed a reconfigurable antenna that can dynamically adjust its frequency range by physically changing shape, offering a more flexible ...
DS-CAN-based magnetic micropillar arrays allow reversible, on-demand, and contactless shape reconfiguration and shape fixation, through exposure to ultraviolet light at room temperature or upon ...
