The basic design is a shape memoryalloy-based soft actuator with embedded stiffness-varying structures serving as modifiable endoskeletons.

So we've hit our targets, just recently, using some shape memoryalloy, some active materials, in concert with the design and the patterning.
3
The one-dimensional deformation of shape memoryalloy (SMA) wires and springs can be implemented into different types of functional structures with three-dimensional deformations.

Artist Stefan G. Bucher will deploy magnetized fluids and shape- memoryalloys.
5
The best elastocaloric materials so far are shape memoryalloys.
6
Shape memoryalloys and a kind of plastic crystal chill quickly under force or pressure.
7
Both crystallographic compatibility and grain engineering are super critical to the functionality of shape memoryalloys, especially at micro- and nanoscales.
8
These older ideas served as a launchpad while modern innovations like shape memoryalloys, passive-elastic materials, and electro-spun fabrics served as the fuel.
9
They're toying with motors that would pull the material and shape memoryalloys, which can shift shape when an electrical current runs through it.
10
These tiny movements can be achieved using various present-day actuator technologies including shape memoryalloys, pneumatic devices, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and piezoelectric elements.
