Background:

Metamaterials offer tunable mechanical properties, but on-demand physical reprogramming via digital control remains a challenge.
Integrating physical and digital capabilities is crucial for advanced adaptive materials.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a real-time reprogrammable mechanical metamaterial.
To demonstrate on-demand tuning of mechanical behaviors using digital interfaces.

Main Methods:

Designed a metamaterial with bistable building blocks and soft actuators for state switching.
Established structure-performance relations to guide reprogramming.
Digitally controlled state sequences to match target stress-strain curves.

Main Results:

Achieved real-time reprogramming of mechanical properties within 4 seconds.
Demonstrated a modulus tuning ratio greater than 30.
Exhibited tunable tension, compression, shearing, and bending performances.

Conclusions:

The developed metamaterial enables precise, rapid, and on-demand physical performance reprogramming.
This work offers a new paradigm for physical performance reprogrammability in artificial intelligent systems.
