| 摘要 | System for establishing a surface shape. The system includes a compliant substrate including the surface and having a reverse side, and a plurality of discrete actuators engaging the reverse side and arranged in a selected pattern to control the surface shape as individual discrete activators are activated. It is preferred that the actuators have multiple discrete stable states of elongation. A particularly preferred embodiment uses actuators that are binary with two stable states of elongation. | ||

| 主权项 | 1. System for establishing a surface shape comprising: a compliant continuous substrate including the surface and having a reverse side, the substrate including a plurality of elastic elements; and a plurality of discrete actuators that and retract only in predetermined fixed steps engaging the reverse side and arranged in a selected pattern to control the surface shape as individual discrete actuators are activated, whereby activation of an individual discrete actuator affects surface shape locally and globally. | ||
