Today’s materials serve one purpose and contribute to waste. Why not learn from NATURE? 🌻 Introducing smart, adaptable and multi-functional materials: This bio-inspired solution took pine cones as role models and copied their humidity-powered movements. In this project moisture-driven, 3D printed composites were developed and designed using a novel parametric software. Everything was open-sourced and compostable materials were used! Why is it revolutionary? These material adapt to their surroundings and morph autonomously, no motors and no sensors! Let’s make materials smart and sustainable! 🌱🌼 (The video shows how to create Hygrobots using the composite and software.)
