报告摘要：
Traditional mechanical machines are precise (low error tolerance), rigid (non-deformable), and “cold” (non-responsive to external environment ). By contrast, soft and flexible mechanical machines are flexible (high tolerance for adaptivity), soft (deformable for safe interaction), and smart (encodable materials and mechanical intelligence), which are complimentary to conventional rigid machines and open a new avenue for renovating mechanical machine designs. In this talk, I will discuss my group’s recent work in soft and flexible mechanical machines. First, I will talk about utilizing the ancient Chinese paper cutting art of Kirigami or Jianzhi for designing flexible and smart mechanical machines guided by geometry and mechanics. Second, I will discuss leveraging instability and elasticity in simple beam and shell structures for fast, strong, and multifunctional soft mechanical machines.
