Traditional deployable systems—relying on pneumatic pumps, electric motors, magnets, or manual assembly—often require bulky power systems or multiple steps. We began exploring whether a simpler, ...

The proposed bistable gripper can maintain its grasp even without continuous energy input, while also being able to modulate its activation force, representing a new paradigm in robotic gripper design ...

A hybrid computer uses rotating mechanical beams for memory and electrical contacts for logic, performing reprogrammable computation through physical motion in environments where conventional ...
