What the current evidence supports
Human editorial judgment · 2026-09-22
Wait for stronger evidence
- Why
- The design-method contribution (knitting codes -> programmable morphing) is real and elegant, but it sits on SMA actuation whose ~0.056 Hz speed, ~10-15% efficiency, hysteresis, burn risk and fatigue remain unsolved; the paper proves tunability, not deployment readiness.
- Next
- Watch for an independent build using the published knitting-code method that reports closed-loop bandwidth, blocking force vs. cycle life, and power/thermal budget — not just static bending angles and flower demos.
