软机器人技术(soft robotics)的研究领域是一个新的运动前沿。不仅为机器人创造了许多新的可能性，在建筑学亦然。这项研究中对于交互建筑的挑战性想法和试验影响了软式交互建筑（soft responsive architecture）的构架模式。

The domain of soft robotics is forming as a new frontier of kinetic designing. Not only creating many new possibilities for robotics but also in architecture. Challenging conventional design thinking about adaptive architecture the experiments outlined in this research suggest approaches to building soft responsive architecture.

“Furl”这个项目结合脑电图（EEG）与软硅胶的优势，借助“空气肌肉”(air muscle)的实验与铸造，为软式交互建筑（soft responsive architecture）创造了新的可能性。软机器人技术的引进，借助大脑控制的方式，替代了交互建筑中传统机械的运作，创新有效的解决了很多传统建筑中的缺陷与限制。大脑感受器（brain sensor）的引入创造了环境和人体交互的一种新方式。从而使我们的环境根据我们的想法与情感的细微变化产生反应。设计中的关键组件“空气肌肉”（air muscle）革命性的拥有广泛的动作阈值。通过软、硬件相结合的建筑元素，“Furl”为动力交互建筑（kinetic responsive architecture）创造了一个新的平台，使得空间可以自由的根据使用者的大脑变化做出反应以创造更适合的空间体验效果。

“Furl” combines Electroencephalography (EEG) with advances in soft silicone casting of “air muscles”. The introduction of soft robotics replaces the mechanical principles in interactive architecture through a biological paradigm. EEG allows sensing of human brain functioning so that our environments begin moving and responding to our very thoughts. The designed components have a wide palette of deformation patterns of inflation. Through combination of soft and hard architectural elements, “Furl” creates a new platform for a kinetic responsive architecture which can let space interact with users needs and adapt itself to environmental conditions.
