MIT Introduces 'Bifur-circuits' for Building Shape-Changing Smart Devices

MIT engineers have created a system called 'bifur-circuits,' which consists of interactive building blocks that can be compressed, stretched, rotated, or bent. These reconfigurable components could be used to develop shape-changing smart devices, such as robotic grippers or customized assistive devices. The innovation offers multiple options for designing interactive devices, potentially enhancing the functionality and adaptability of assistive technologies for individuals with disabilities.
