Welcome to “The FACTs of Mechanical Design!” I'm Professor Jonathan Hopkins and my area of study involves the design, optimization, and fabrication of flexible mechanisms, structures, and materials (e.g., compliant mechanisms, architected metamaterials, soft robots, origami, and MEMs devices) that deform to achieve extraordinary capabilities. In this channel, I will be posting university lectures, professionally edited courses, and other videos that highlight specific mechanisms that I have designed.

If you'd like to better understand my research, you can check out my group's website:
www.flexible.seas.ucla.edu
If you'd like to download part files of the mechanisms that I feature on the channel, you can download them here:

If you'd like to donate to my channel to help offset the personal cost to produce this content, you can do so using PayPal:

Your support is much appreciated!
