description Abstract We demonstrate that the consideration of material uncertainty can dramatically impact the optimal topological micro-structural configuration of mechanical metamaterials. The robust optimization problem is formulated in such a way that it facilitates the emergence of extreme mechanical properties of metamaterials. The algorithm is based on the bi-directional evolutionary topology optimization and energy-based homogenization approach.
