“…Yao et al [42] proposed a programmable shape-changing interface and explored its design space, including a height-changing tangible icon for a mobile app or a transformable tablet case. Cui et al [7] presented a construction kit for a shape-changing interface and proposed designing robot behavior as its application. Prior work has also explored how shapechanging interfaces can communicate emotional states [8,9,24,36].…”
Figure 1: In this study, we explore how techniques from soft robotics, specifically fiber-embedded actuators (a) might be used to design robots, such as Sprout (b) that can express emotions and internal states by changing the shape of their bodies.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
