Knitros
Knitros are a class of miniature, programmable units designed to be integrated into textiles to form adaptable, deformable fabrics. They combine actuation, sensing, and communication capabilities within a modular, knit-friendly form factor, enabling garments or fabrics that can change shape, stiffness, or function in response to need or context.
The term Knitro blends knitting or textile processes with micro-robotic concepts, and the idea has appeared
Design and operation concepts describe each Knitro as containing a small actuator or shape-changing mechanism, a
Applications proposed for Knitros include self-adjusting clothing for comfort or performance, soft robots for assistive devices,
