Definition

The term, in context

AI-assisted draft · approved dataset

FibeRobo is a liquid-crystal elastomer fiber that contracts when heated and relaxes back to its original length as it cools, without any embedded sensors, wires, or motors. It can be woven, knitted, or embroidered on standard textile machinery, turning ordinary fabric into a material that changes shape or tightens in response to temperature or body heat.
