"Twisted optical fibres.." featured on the cover of Nature Photonics
With commentary by Michael Rechtsman here here.
We study the mechanics of advanced materials for smarter soft robots.
Our interests encompass the mechanics of advanced materials in all their guises—mechanical metamaterials , topological materials, active matter—and how they can be used to build smarter soft robots. Our goal is to design robotic materials: soft robots that use collective phenomena to achieve functionality without central control.
