Investigating Embedded Sensors and Actuators for Robotic Materials such as an Active Metamaterials

该研究项目的目的是研究传感器和致动器在材料晶格结构中的集成，而不影响材料的机械性能。嵌入式传感和致动被设计为调节该材料的特性，例如有效密度和刚度。这样做的目的是提供既能适应用户和环境需求，又能超越传统材料结构的性能。

The aim of this research project is to investigate the integration of sensors and actuators within a material's lattice structure without compromising the mechanical properties of the material. The embedded sensing and actuation is designed to modulate the properties of that material, such as the effective density and stiffness. The purpose of this is to provide performance that is both adaptable to user and environmental demands and beyond what is possible with a conventional material structure alone.
