Thrilled to virtually be part of the RSS Pioneer group photo! Thanks to my expert Photoshop skills, my headshot fits right in 😆! #RSSPioneer #VirtualAttendee #PhotoshopMagic

Thanks, @TechXplore, for highlighting our work. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Remember playing with push puppet toys🧸? They inspired UCLA University of California UCLA MAE UCLA Electrical and Computer Engineering engineers Wenzhong Yan & asst. prof. Ankur Mehta to create a tunable, dynamic material that mimics how they work, with findings published in Materials Horizons samueli.ucla.edu/engineers-make…

The back cover of Issue 16 of Materials Horizons features Wenzhong Yan and group. Inspired by push puppets, they create metamaterials that reversibly self-deploy into programmed structures. Their mechanical properties can be widely tuned post-deployment. 🔗pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Super cool event!

Thanks for the nice blog and interview, Tech Briefs. #shapeshiftingmetamaterial #pushpuppets #tunabledynamicmaterial #metamaterial #robotics

Check self-deployable, adaptive robots (arxiv.org/abs/2410.02974) based on Contracting-Cord Particle Jamming (doi.org/10.1039/D4MH00…). These robots hold potential for exploration in remote, complex areas. Accepted to ISRR2024. #softrobotics #AdaptiveRobotics #ParticleJamming

Love to have one!😌

Excited to share my recent work as a co-first author on a paper published in Science Magazine! Huge thanks to my fantastic materials science coauthors—Hanxiang Wu, Yuan Zhu, and Qibing Pei—for inviting me to contribute to this project from a mechanical engineering perspective.

I’m excited to share something from my friend and robotics legend, Matt Mason Matthew Mason! 🤖📷 He’s launched a blog where he dives into all things robotics: mtmason.com/matt-mason-rob… Matt has been shaping the robotics field for decades. Whether you’re deep in the field or

#RSSPioneers throwbacks is back! In the following weeks, we will share exciting research and stories of RSS Pioneers 2024 cohorts, starting with Wenzhong Yan, one of RSS Pioneer 2025 Program Committee Members. Wenzhong is a postdoctoral fellow at UCLA Electrical and Computer Engineering. His stories👇 🧵:
