MIT’s shape-shifting smart devices could power smart furniture, morphing robots
SMRTR summary
MIT developed "bifur-circuits," 3D-printed modular blocks that let objects shift between dozens of shapes while maintaining electrical connections without any wires or sensors. Surviving 10,000 compression tests, these blocks could enable self-tracking furniture, adaptive robotic grippers, and emergency shelters that automatically reconfigure in response to changing conditions.
