Mechanical metamaterial actuators achieve pre-determined input-output operations exploiting architectural features encoded within a single 3D printed element, thus removing the need for assembling different structural components. Despite the rapid progress in the field, there is still a need for efficient strategies to optimize metamaterial design for a variety of functions. We present a computational method for the automatic design of mechanical metamaterial actuators that combines a reinforced ...[more]
