Tunable Stiffness Compliant Mechanism with Bistable Switch (www.youtube.com)
Translational binary stiffness compliant mechanism that achieves two different states of stiffness by being triggered using a simple bistable switch

Configuration-indifferent compliant building blocks that can be assembled like Lego in any configuration or arrangement to produce compliant mechanisms of any complexity that achieve the same degrees of freedom (DOFs) as their constituent building blocks.
The world’s first mechanical neural network that can learn its behavior. It consists of a lattice of compliant mechanisms that constitute an artificial intelligent (AI) architected material that gets better and better at acquiring desired behaviors and properties with increased exposure to unanticipated ambient loading...
