Check out our new work with Tom Vogel, @AghnaMukherjee, Edouard Tarter, and Paolo Ermanni: doi.org/10.1016/j.matdes.202…
We show how to design bistable structures with improved stiffness using kinematics-based design. The approach is applied to the design of a reconfigurable boom!

How do you achieve adaptive stiffness in structures in an energy-efficient way? In our latest work with Kai Jun Chen in Smart Materials and Structures, we propose reversible lamination of load-carrying layers using gecko-inspired dry adhesives. doi.org/10.1088/1361-665X/ad…

Conference alert! 🚨
@risso_giada, in collaboration with @PaoloErmanni @MSakovsky, presented her work on the ‘Actuation of Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Surfaces With Multiple Programmable Shapes’ at SMASIS 2022. #Actuators controlled the shape change of large multi-stable structures

Very excited to see our work with @CMASLabETH published! Check it out to see the incredible role that anisotropy plays in multistability and its application to robotic locomotion

Thanks to its multi-stable periodic structure, where unit cells can possess up to nine stable states, this meta-structure is able to combine large and reversible shape reconfiguration with a self-locking ability @CMASLabETH
