DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Jesus Rodriguez\nAbstract: Digital fabrication allows 
 for an extremely fast transition from virtual prototypes to their physical
  realization. In the case of deformable objects\, one would like to design
  these prototypes with a clear idea in mind about how they should behave o
 nce they are printed. It is not easy to predict what combination of materi
 al and geometric properties will produce a specific global deformation beh
 avior. We seek to create tools that simplify as much as possible the way a
  user specifies the desired behavior and automate the rest of the design p
 rocess. In this talk we take brief look at the diversity of recent works\,
  identify the fundamental aspects of these methods\, and present computati
 onal solutions for the design\, simulation and fabrication of two interest
 ing kind of deformable structures:\n\ni) We first explore Flexible Rod Mes
 hes. These are light-weight and cost-efficient physical shapes\, that can 
 be fabricated in one piece from a single base material\, and yet produce d
 eformable objects with really complex behaviors. We present a tool that ta
 kes as input a deformable surface together with a set of poses and boundar
 y conditions\, and automatically computes a rod mesh ready to be printed.\
 n\nii) We then study Kirchhoff-Plateau Surfaces. These are planar networks
  of thin elastic rods embedded in pre-tensioned membranes that deploy into
  complex\, three-dimensional shapes\, composed of minimal surface patches.
  We propose a tool to interactively explore this intriguing and expressive
  design space\, using a combination of topology and geometry editing\, for
 ward simulation\, sensitivity analysis and highly efficient inverse design
 .\n\nIn the last part of the talk\, we’ll briefly take a look at some new
  trends and promising challenges in the field.
