Morphing Machine

It is a machine that can change shapes. This research is a part of a new field of study called Machine Theory which involves engineers exploring the possible principles of future machines. If their predictions are true, machines might be developed to take on whatever shape or geometry they require. Future applications are manifold from amphibious cars to bionic arms and hands.

Hope the machine would give some inspirations to the audiences.

I gratefully acknoledge the funding from EPSRC and Heriot-Watt University.

Many thanks to my supervisors Dr.Xianwen Kong, Prof. Jian Dai, Prof. Q. Liao and Prof. D.Li who provided insight and expertise.
