Pediatric pulmonary artery band (PAB) using origami-inspired fabrication that is remotely adjustable after implantation.
A material mixture (active colloids immersed in nematic liquid crystals) that act as microrobots for directed assembly and micromanipulation of passive colloidal particles.
An origami-based approach to generate complex shapes by folding magnetically programmed sheets.
Levitation of polymer nanocomposite film upon illumination in upper atmospheric conditions.
A kirigami-inspired robot made without hard electronic controls, with soft modular sensors for navigating diverse environments.
A method for fabricating stronger 3D curved surfaces by stacking multiple layers of 2D sheets, each having a specified cutting pattern, into one composite material
A class of metacaps with rich nonlinear mechanical behaviors, which addresses the challenges of limited and often slow actuation speeds, complex control systems, and the absence of sensing capabilities associated with soft robots.
Magnetic, scalable, tether-free robotic device for sampling infectious and contaminating biological materials from confined or difficult-to-access surfaces and spaces, for use in diagnoses, composition analysis, and treatments.
Providing tactile and audio feedback during robotic surgery produces an immersive experience for surgeons that can lead to safer and more efficient procedures.
