ノースカロライナ州立大学の研究者たちは、磁場と切り紙(キリガミ)のデザイン原理を組み合わせ、柔軟な凹凸表面を遠隔操作して物体を掴まずに移動させる新たなデバイスを開発しました。この「メタシート」は、磁性微粒子を含む弾性ポリマーで構成され、特定のパターンが切り込まれています。磁場を操作することで、メタシートの表面を波のように動かし、液体や壊れやすい物体などを持ち上げたり移動させたりすることが可能です。この技術は、ロボットアームなどが使用できない狭い空間での応用が期待されています。

Abstract

Soft shape-shifting materials offer enhanced adaptability in shape-governed properties and functionalities. However, once morphed, they struggle to reprogram their shapes and simultaneously bear loads for fulfilling multifunctionalities. Here, we report a dynamic spatiotemporal shape-shifting kirigami dome metasheet with high deformability and stiffness that responds rapidly to dynamically changing magnetic fields. The magnetic kirigami dome exhibits over twice higher doming height and 1.5 times larger bending curvature, as well as sevenfold enhanced structural stiffness compared to its continuous counterpart without cuts. The metasheet achieves omnidirectional doming and multimodal translational and rotational wave-like shape-shifting, quickly responding to changing magnetic fields within 2 milliseconds. Using the dynamic shape-shifting and adaptive interactions with objects, we demonstrate its applications in voxelated dynamic displays and remote magnetic multimodal directional and rotary manipulation of nonmagnetic objects without grasping. It shows high-load transportation ability of over 40 times its own weight, as well as versatility in handling objects of different materials (liquid and solid), sizes, shapes, and weights.
