Bistable Soft Shells for Programmable Mechanical Logic

Abstract: Mechanical computing promises to integrate semiconductor‐based digital logic in several applications, but it needs straightforward programmable devices for changing computing rules in situ. A methodology based on strain‐governed, bistable soft shells that process digital information by interchanging their internal/external surfaces is proposed. This bistable behavior, explained via model‐based design, safeguards robustness by working only once for each input pulse. Thus, these shells are leveraged to create a buffer and a NOT gate that lead to six fundamental gates (AND, OR, NAND, NOR, XOR, and XNOR). All these functions are integrated into a unique programmable device, making mechanically integrated circuits more adaptable with rule‐changeable logic operations. This design ensures continuous processes and general applicability to multiple types of signals (a pressurized fluid can replace mechanical driving signals is shown). It also empowers more complex logic functions suitable for expanded applications, such as the half and full adders is addressed.
