Soft living organisms have perfected the use of local deformations for dynamic global shape control. Recapitulating this in responsive synthetic materials involves programming a differential swelling field into the material. This field determines the material’s elastic state upon actuation and can be mathematically encoded as a reference Riemannian metric tensor. In this framework, the elastic […]
