Actuatable modular structures
Linear elements and connectors define the parts used by this building system to manufacture and/or form modules and multimodular structures. The linear elements and connectors meet and interact to form physical structures that can function as adaptable behavioral networks. At the junctures where linear elements and connectors meet, a plurality of interface mechanisms allow information transfer and/or form reversible structural changes within the modules and/or multimodular network structures built using this system. Structural changes within or between the fundamental digital elements making up a network structure may lead to the morphing of the greater structure. The fundamental digital elements are linear elements. The connectors allow the meeting/binding of digital elements. The connectors and linear elements act as structural and behavioral actuators that interface within the network structure they compose. These networks may use a plurality of linear element to connector interfaces to produce structural dynamism. This exemplary digital material's physical and logical topology is integrated to form fundamental networks that may produce structural and behavioral dynamism.
