Cartography to shape morphing at many length scales
May 30
Cartography to shape morphing at many length scales

“Soft robots locomote by reshaping compliant bodies. However, precision control of large, reversible 3-D deformations with minimal hardware remains difficult. We tackle this by treating morphing as a geometric problem: prescribing an in-plane “metric actuation” field—coordinated local area expansions and contractions—changes a surface’s intrinsic curvature, causing a flat surface to autonomously adopt a prescribed 3-D form.”

The seminar is open to Stanford faculty, students, and sponsors.
