Emerging structures
A reactive textile actuator is a type of smart textile that can change shape in response to an external stimulus, such as a user’s touch. In particular, some reactive textile actuators are designed to go from a flat state to a 3D state due to the arrangement of the layers of material and the design of the circuits.
Emerging behavior
The specific design of the circuits and layers can be tailored to achieve different shapes and movements, making reactive textile actuators a promising technology for a variety of applications in robotics, wearable technology, and more.
Library of different geometries and layer arrangements
We have developed a library of different geometries, structures and material arrangements that can perform movements such as pulling, pushing, bending and stiffening.
