Polymer-based systems are low cost and rapidly scalable, enabling widespread applications in human-machine interfaces and emerging robotics. This talk will describe materials innovations, multimaterial direct write printing approaches, and resulting morphing devices. Highlighted projects will include bio-inspired sensor networks and electrically-driven actuator arrays for shape morphing systems.
