We introduce a pneumatic-driven, origami-inspired reprogrammable gripper, distinct from
traditional grippers due to its dynamic adjustability in grasping modes post-fabrication. This …

Actuators utilizing snap‐through instabilities are widely investigated for high‐performance
fast actuators and shape reconfigurable structures owing to their rapid response and limited …

This study presents the development of kirigami-based auxetic metamaterials with
multistability and shape-morphing capabilities through a design optimisation framework …

Dual-response can respond to multiple stimuli and overcome the limitations of a single
response, especially in biomimetic applications where large deformations and high stiffness …

Advancements in materials science and mechanical systems have spurred widespread
investigation into non-traditional structures. In particular, a novel structure characterized by …

Soft materials are widely employed in wearable electronics, soft robotics and biomedicine
due to high deformability and superior flexibility. However, large deformability and flexibility …

Recent developments in soft materials enable the design and manufacturing of bistable

Deployable structures are extensively used in engineering. A bistable panel structure,
inspired by multistable origami, is proposed, capable of deployment and folding powered by …

Hyper-redundant manipulators are produced by cascading several mechanisms on top of
each other as modules. The discrete actuation makes their control easier because discrete …

Hyper-redundant manipulators are made by stacking several similar robotic modules. If all
their actuators are actuated discretely, they are called discretely actuated hyper-redundant …
