We develop variable rigidity devices capable of handling curved surfaces, switching at high speed, and driving with low energy consumption. Also, we will prepare countless very small locking mechanisms with very simple structure, and think that one minute locking mechanism will fix it to the shape of a part of the form frame very much. In the future, it is necessary to perform simulation and optimization in order to determine various parameters, such as the method of arranging band-shaped elastic bodies, the initial state of buckling, the selection of the actuator and the speed of jumping buckling phenomenon.
