Honeycomb Actuators Inspired by the Unfolding of Ice Plant Seed Capsules

Plant hydro-actuated systems provide a rich source of inspiration for designing autonomously morphing devices. One such example, the pentagonal ice plant seed capsule, achieves complex mechanical actuation which is critically dependent on its hierarchical organization. The functional core of this ac...
