Yale researchers develop shape-shifting robotic fabric
December 1st, 2020
Researchers at Yale University’s School of Engineering and Applied Science have developed a robotic fabric, a breakthrough that could lead to such innovations as adaptive clothing, self-deploying shelters or lightweight shape-changing machinery. Created in the lab of Prof. Rebecca Kramer-Bottiglio, the fabric includes actuation, sensing and variable-stiffness fibers, while retaining all the qualities that make […]
