Excited to announce our results on shape-morphing robots, published in Nature Communications: rdcu.be/dm9DN Special gratitude to my exceptional students: Jiefeng Sun, soon-to-be Assistant Professor at ASU, and E. Lerner, B. Tighe, and C. Middlemist. #Robot #research #morphing

.Jiefeng Sun, Jianguo Zhao et al. from Colorado State University CSU Engineering CSU Mechanical Engineering propose an embedded method, enabling robots to adapt to environments or tasks by changing their #morphologies through embedded #actuation, #sensing, and #shape locking. nature.com/articles/s4146…

But have you ever seen a robot do this? CSU Mechanical Engineering develops morphing robots with gripping, climbing, and flattening capabilities that mimic natural organisms. 🤖🦾 col.st/5NJ50 #UnitedinDiscovery | #ResearchCSU CSU Engineering Colorado State University

Have you ever played with a slap bracelet? From a straight shape, it quickly curls around your wrist. Using this concept, we've developed bistable grippers that automatically close upon contact. Check it out here: ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/docum…

We developed a tunable perching mechanism for aerial robots using a bistable mechanism + Shape Memory Alloy actuators. It enables fast, robust perching on smooth, tilted surfaces—no precise orientation control needed. #Robotics #AerialRobots #SoftRobotics #Drones #Perching
