These material systems can be leveraged to design soft robots, self-assembling furniture, adaptive fabrics, and self-folding foods. In this talk, Lining presents the recent works in the Morphing Matter Lab, Human-Computer Interaction Institute at Carnegie Mellon University and highlights several robotic morphing materials that weave advanced manufacturing with computational tools. Her team believes that the term \u0026ldquo;robotics\u0026rdquo; does not only refer to conventional robotic forms and controls but also connects to the artifacts\u0026rsquo; ability to make decisions, adapt, move, and respond to different stimuli.

Morphing Matter lab develops materials, tools, and applications of adaptive, dynamic and intelligent morphing matter from nano to macro scales. Research often combines material science, computational fabrication and creative design practices. Lining and her lab work anti-disciplinarily, publishing and exhibiting across science, engineering, design and art. Lining gained her PhD at MIT Media Lab, where she combined biological and engineering approaches to develop physical materials with dynamic and tunable properties including shape, color, stiffness, texture and density. Beyond her teaching and research in the School of Computer Science, Lining holds courtesy appointments at Mechanical Engineering, as well as Material Sciences and Engineering. She is supervising undergraduate and graduate students across the College of Engineering and College of Art.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.gvu.gatech.edu\/events\/upcoming\u0022\u003ESchedule of Brown Bag Speakers Fall 2019\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EIn this\u0026nbsp;talk, Lining Yao will highlight several robotic morphing materials that weave advanced manufacturing with computational tools and connect to the artifacts\u0026rsquo; ability to make decisions, adapt, move, and respond to different stimuli.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"In this talk Morphing Matter Lab recent works are presented."}],"uid":"33749","created_gmt":"2019-09-26 15:12:38","changed_gmt":"2019-10-01 12:27:16","author":"Dorie Taylor","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2019-10-03T12:30:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2019-10-03T14:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2019-10-03T14:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2019-10-03 16:30:00","gmt_time_end":"2019-10-03 18:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2019-10-03 18:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":["free_food"],"hg_media":{"626770":{"id":"626770","type":"image","title":"Lining Yao Photo","body":null,"created":"1569510841","gmt_created":"2019-09-26 15:14:01","changed":"1569510841","gmt_changed":"2019-09-26 15:14:01","alt":"","file":{"fid":"238638","name":"Yao_photo.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/Yao_photo.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/Yao_photo.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":375231,"path_740":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/Yao_photo.jpg?itok=amM_uHvx"}}},"media_ids":["626770"],"groups":[{"id":"47223","name":"College of Computing"},{"id":"1299","name":"GVU Center"},{"id":"69599","name":"IPaT"},{"id":"50876","name":"School of Interactive Computing"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"},{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:gvu@cc.gatech.edu\u0022\u003Egvu@cc.gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
