Function Follows Form: An Exploration of Robotic Embodiment through Geometry by Chin, Lillian Tiffany

“…When complex metamaterials (ex. handed shearing auxetics) are sensorized, fully proprioceptive soft robotic systems can be created as structure, actuation and sensing are embedded into one single geometry. …”
