Large-stroke flexure hinges: Building-block-based spatial topology synthesis method for maximising flexure performance over their entire range of motion [PDF]
, 2017 Large-stroke flexure hinges inherently lose support stiffness when deflected, due to load components in compliant bending and torsion directions. To maximise performance over the entire range of motion, a topology optimisation suited to large-stroke ...

Stiffness‐Programmable Origami Robots With Tendon‐Driven Actuation via Multimaterial 3D Printing
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Motion diversity is achieved in a tendon‐driven origami robot through programmable stiffness rather than modified actuation. Multimaterial 3D printing embeds soft creases, modular inserts redirect identical tendon inputs into distinct behaviors, and variable‐stiffness inserts enable real‐time switching.

Toward Mechanical Intelligence in Robotics
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Robots can use their physical bodies to perform functions usually assigned to electronic sensors and controllers. This perspective defines mechanical intelligence through three core operations: filtering inputs, routing mechanical signals, and switching between states.
