Reinforcement learning for inverse structural design and rapid laser cutting of kirigami prototypes
Short summary
Researchers developed RL-Kirigami, combining reinforcement learning with optimal-transport flow matching to design kirigami metamaterials under hard geometric constraints. The framework achieved 94.91% structural accuracy while generating laser-cuttable designs in under 8 minutes per prototype. Successfully fabricated deployable kirigami structures in polymeric sheets, validating a manufacturing-aware inverse design workflow.
