  text: "Complex 3D shapes can be created by morphing flat 2D configurations. Such
    deformations\r\neither preserve the intrinsic material geometry (e.g., folding
    paper) or modify it through\r\nlocalized contraction. Once transformed, the 3D
    shape can be further controlled to achieve a\r\ntarget functionality. A key challenge
    is to take the material specifications and the actuation\r\nprocess as input to
    automatically design the target 3D shape and its functionality. This thesis\r\npresents
    two novel computational pipelines for the design and control of shape-morphing\r\nstructures
    used to create functional prototypes.\r\nThe first pipeline borrows from the art
    of origami to fold paper into intricate shapes and\r\napplies this principle to
    make 3D lighting displays. We introduce, PCBend a computational\r\ndesign approach
    that covers a surface with individually addressable RGB LEDs, effectively\r\nforming
    a low-resolution surface by folding rigid printed circuit boards (PCBs). We optimize\r\ncut
    patterns on PCBs to act as hinges and co-design LED placement, circuit routing,
    and\r\nfabrication constraints to produce PCB blueprints. The PCBs are fabricated
    using automated\r\nstandard manufacturing services with LEDs embedded on them.
    Finally, the fabricated PCBs\r\nare cut along the contour and folded onto a 3D-printed
    support. The 3D lighting display is\r\nthen controlled to display complex surface
    light patterns.\r\nCreating 3D shapes through folding is only possible if their
    planar configuration, called ”unfolding” exists without any distortion or overlap.
    Existing methods often permit distortion\r\nor require multiple patches, which
    are unsuitable for fabrication pipelines that rely on folding\r\nnon-stretchable
    materials. We reinforce such fabrication pipelines by providing a geometric\r\nrelaxation
    to the problem, where the input shape is modified to admit overlap-free unfolding.\r\nThe
    second fabrication pipeline extends shape morphing to soft robotics by emulating
    nature’s\r\nblueprint of distributed actuation. Inspired by vertebrates, we build
    musculoskeletal robots\r\nusing modular active actuators, employing Liquid Crystal
    Elastomers (LCEs) as shrinkable\r\nartificial muscles integrated with 3D-printed
    bones. The chemical composition of LCEs is\r\naltered to enable untethered actuation
    through infrared radiation, allowing active control of\r\nindividual muscles and
    their corresponding bones. The combined motion of individual bones\r\ndefines
    the robot’s overall shape and functionality. Our proposed system significantly
    expands\r\nboth the design and control spaces of soft robots, which we harness
    using our computational\r\ndesign tools. We build several physical robots that
    exhibit complex shape morphing and varied\r\nterrain navigation, showcasing the
    versatility of our pipeline.\r\nThis thesis explores applications ranging from
    intricate light patterns displayed on 3D shapes\r\nformed by folding rigid PCBs
    to untethered robots that use contractile muscles to exhibit\r\nshape morphing
    and locomotion. Through these examples, the thesis highlights how computational
    design and distributed actuation, integrated with novel materials, can transform\r\npassive
    structures into functional prototypes."

  text: 'We present a computational approach for unfolding 3D shapes isometrically
    into the plane as a single patch without overlapping triangles. This is a hard,
    sometimes impossible, problem, which existing methods are forced to soften by
    allowing for map distortions or multiple patches. Instead, we propose a geometric
    relaxation of the problem: We modify the input shape until it admits an overlap‐free
    unfolding. We achieve this by locally displacing vertices and collapsing edges,
    guided by the unfolding process. We validate our algorithm quantitatively and
    qualitatively on a large dataset of complex shapes and show its proficiency by
    fabricating real shapes from paper.'

  text: "Natural organisms utilize distributed actuation through their musculoskeletal\r\nsystems
    to adapt their gait for traversing diverse terrains or to morph their\r\nbodies
    for varied tasks. A longstanding challenge in robotics is to emulate\r\nthis capability
    of natural organisms, which has motivated the development of\r\nnumerous soft
    robotic systems. However, such systems are generally optimized\r\nfor a single
    functionality, lack the ability to change form or function on\r\ndemand, or remain
    tethered to bulky control systems. To address these\r\nlimitations, we present
    a framework for designing and controlling robots that\r\nutilize distributed actuation.
    We propose a novel building block that\r\nintegrates 3D-printed bones with liquid
    crystal elastomer (LCE) muscles as\r\nlightweight actuators, enabling the modular
    assembly of musculoskeletal robots.\r\nWe developed LCE rods that contract in
    response to infrared radiation, thereby\r\nproviding localized, untethered control
    over the distributed skeletal network\r\nand producing global deformations of
    the robot. To fully capitalize on the\r\nextensive design space, we introduce
    two computational tools: one for\r\noptimizing the robot's skeletal graph to achieve
    multiple target deformations,\r\nand another for co-optimizing skeletal designs
    and control gaits to realize\r\ndesired locomotion. We validate our framework
    by constructing several robots\r\nthat demonstrate complex shape morphing, diverse
    control schemes, and\r\nenvironmental adaptability. Our system integrates advances
    in modular material\r\nbuilding, untethered and distributed control, and computational
    design to\r\nintroduce a new generation of robots that brings us closer to the
    capabilities\r\nof living organisms."

  text: "We propose a computational design approach for covering a surface with individually
    addressable RGB LEDs, effectively forming a low-resolution surface screen. To
    achieve a low-cost and scalable approach, we propose creating designs from flat
    PCB panels bent in-place along the surface of a 3D printed core. Working with
    standard rigid PCBs enables the use of\r\nestablished PCB manufacturing services,
    allowing the fabrication of designs with several hundred LEDs. \r\nOur approach
    optimizes the PCB geometry for folding, and then jointly optimizes the LED packing,
    circuit and routing, solving a challenging layout problem under strict manufacturing
    requirements. Unlike paper, PCBs cannot bend beyond a certain point without breaking.
    Therefore, we introduce parametric cut patterns acting as hinges, designed to
    allow bending while remaining compact. To tackle the joint optimization of placement,
    circuit and routing, we propose a specialized algorithm that splits the global
    problem into one sub-problem per triangle, which is then individually solved.\r\nOur
    technique generates PCB blueprints in a completely automated way. After being
    fabricated by a PCB manufacturing service, the boards are bent and glued by the
    user onto the 3D printed support. We demonstrate our technique on a range of physical
    models and virtual examples, creating intricate surface light patterns from hundreds
    of LEDs."
