We are excited to share the new IOP Roadmap article published in Smart Materials and Structures:
“Roadmap on embodying mechano-intelligence and computing in functional materials and structures”.
This comprehensive, multi-author review brings together leading experts to discuss the latest advances at the intersection of functional materials, adaptive structures, and mechano-intelligence. The article covers twelve key areas, including:
-
Computational and neuromorphic metamaterials
-
Mechanical logic, memory, and neural networks
-
Soft matter and wave-based computing
-
Physical reservoir and morphological computing
-
Plant-inspired intelligence, pneumatic logic circuits, and intelligent robotics
Commissioned by the editorial board, this Roadmap highlights future directions in integrating intelligence and computing directly into the mechanical domain of materials and structures, paving the way toward next-generation adaptive and intelligent systems.
