Experimental demonstration of programmable control over edge modes, indicating implications for advanced wave devices.

The goal is to experimentally manipulate an edge mode's profile in an active nonlinear mechanical lattice.
Introduced tunable nonlinearity via drive and feedback coefficients.
Utilized quadratic pseudospectrum for analyzing spectral selectivity and spatial confinement.
Conducted parameter sweeps to assess edge responses and real-space profiles.
Successfully broadened and relocated the edge mode to match prescribed target shapes.
Achieved quantitative corroboration of edge profiles across parameter adjustments.
Demonstrated approach applicability across various platforms, including mechanical, photonic, and acoustic networks.
