Embedded actuation and sensing
This research track investigates embedding actuation, sensing and smart functionalities into the otherwise passive materials and structures. It entail developing: (1) technologies to create high-performance and versatile actuators; (2) multi-material additive manufacturing methods to realize embedded functionalities; (3) materials that funciton as mechatronic systems or sub-systems; and (4) their utilization.
