斯图加特大学的ITECH研究组在2018-19阶段开发了一种自适应性的结构，其灵感来源于瓢虫翅膀的折叠机制。该结构由两个可调节的折叠单元组成，材料选用了碳纤维和玻璃纤维增强塑料，是第一个以工业铺带技术自动装配的大尺寸适应性机械装置。

▼项目概览，project overview

The ITECH Research Demonstrator 2018-19 investigates large-scale compliant architecture inspired by the folding mechanisms of the Coleoptera coccinellidae (Ladybug) wings. The demonstrator is composed of two adaptive folding elements made of carbon and glass fibre-reinforced plastic. The demonstrator is first of its kind to employ industrial tape-laying technology for an automated fabrication of large-scale compliant mechanisms. Their kinetic behaviour is achieved through distinct compliant hinge zones with integrated pneumatic actuators. An interactive control system, consisting of integrated sensors, online communication, and backend computational processing, facilitates interactive and user-controlled adaptation. The project is part of a successful series of research demonstrators showcasing the potential of computational design, simulation and fabrication processes in bio-inspired architecture. The project was designed and realized by students and researchers, supported by a multi-disciplinary team of architects, engineers, biologists, and palaeontologists.
