Soft Robot

Large-scale Deployable Soft Robot

• •A novel soft robot design framework inspired by origami, kirigami, and natural lifeforms
• •Dual-morphing stretchable origami for giant shape morphing
• •Reconfigurable modular soft machines with variable length and stiffness changes
• •Vine robots with self-stiffening mechanisms for 10-meter-scale robotic adaptive construction
