The rapidly developing robotics industry demands structures with novelmechanical functions. Traditional approaches, developing new materials anddesigning new structures, face two challenges. Highly complexforce-displacement functions can hardly be realized and one fabricatedstructure only has one or limited function. We perform theoretical calculationsand FE simulations to demonstrate that the two challenges can be solved bymaking the mechanical property or geometry of the structure tunable. Themechanical property/geometry tuning approaches are further validated byexperimental tests and the results show that multiple different and highlycomplex objective functions can be achieved accurately. We expect that theproposed tuning approaches will facilitate the development of advanced forms ofmechanical metamaterials and a new generation of robotic hands.
