Soft, Flexible Robotic Metasurface (VIDEO) Duke University This video is under embargo. Please login to access this video. Caption Watch this thin, flexible material teach itself to mimic ocean waves and flexing palms in real-time. Relying on electromagnetic actuation, mechanical modeling and machine learning to form new configurations, the surface can even learn to adapt to hindrances such as broken elements, unexpected constraints or changing environments.
