For the "programmable" wood, yes. This isn't necessarily the case for the other materials. It appears they mean programmable in the sense of shape memory alloys of a few years back. Given a set of conditions, the material assumes a predetermined shape based on the architecture of the material.

It is not what many of us think when we imagine "programmable materials." When there is a computational substrate driven by software that can assume shapes based on the software instructions... that will be programmable materials.

In this case we have extreme Origami.

Still very cool, though.
