Pneumatics and hydraulics by using liquids or gasses, or buy using inflatable components.
Use liquids or gasses rather than solid objects.
Use inflatable components.
Rigid thinking often leads to rigid objects, and certainly toughness and over- engineering often sees its expression in solidity without freedom of movement. We are often in awe of the ability of 'shape shifters' (either in mythology or in science fiction novels and films) to fluidly change to meet a need, but this is exactly what we require of many objects and business processes! Gasses and liquids move easily, can be compressed and expanded, and promote diffusion and heat transfer at orders of magnitude better than solids.
