Transforming machines capable of continuous 3D shape morphing and locking.Inspired by natural species that leverage morphological changes to realize multiple locomotion modes, diverse multimodal robots have been reported. While developments of small-scale actuators with continuous shape morphing and locking capabilities controlled by the same energy source are crucial for miniaturization of unt...
