Gunes Kosterit and Jhonathan Rincon presented their work at ASME's Premier Conference on Smart Materials, Adaptive Structures, and Intelligent Systems (SMASIS) organized from September 8-10 at St. Louis, Missouri. Gunes Kosterit gave a presentation titled "Metastructures With Programmable Stiffness and Shape Adaptation". Jhonathan Rincon presented his works on "Morphofunctional Co-Design for Embodying Control in Soft Multistable Robots" and "Curvature Adaptable Robotic End-Effectors". We would also like to congratulate Jhonathan for winning the first place at the student hardware competition at the conference.
