Electroactive Polymers
Electroactive Polymers are smart materials that change shape or size when stimulated by an electric field, acting like artificial muscles, and are used in actuators, sensors, and generators for applications from soft robotics.
Alternative Composites
The use of composite fibers in transportation has gained significant popularity, particularly due to the robust properties of carbon fiber. However, there is relatively less exploration in the realm of bio-resins and sustainable fibers. This paper delves into this aspect of composite research, examining various materials used in this context.
Movement as Infrastructure / AI
Transportation is experiencing its third great upheaval. Steam forged the first networked world, and the private automobile individualized freedom; now artificial intelligence (AI) is embedding cognition into vehicles, roads, delivery drones, and orbital rovers.

Product Platforming
Product platforming is a financial decision at its core, one that drives the sustainable growth of companies by determining how shared architecture translates into compounding returns across a product family. Knowing how these decisions take place goes beyond engineering or user research. It is the complicated question of how to make a product profitable while solving a problem.
