Shape Changing Micromachines

This webinar was presented by Daniel López and introduces the fundamentals and limitations of current micro-machines. López also discusses the prospect of creating shape morphing structures by using origami and Kirigami techniques combined with nanoscale materials. These shape morphing systems create a new paradigm in engineering where the distinction between materials and mechanisms gets vague. This webinar recording runs 1:01:07 minutes in length. PDF presentation slides are also included.
