pneUI
It is a shape-changing technology through pneumatically-actuated soft composite materials. The material includes input sensing and an active shape output. The shape changing states are controllable through air and pre-defined structure.
jamSheets
It is a sheet which can deform and be stiff. It is a thin interface with multiple layers of materials to control the deformability of the interface. The interface allows to switch between rigid and soft material states seamlessly.
aeroMorph
AeroMorph its about origami structure with inflatables materials. The topic has an organic-inspired approach and is the total opposite of the solid mechanical hard robots. The materials like paper, plastic and fabrics are programmable.
