Folding a flat sheet under a specific crease pattern can form a three-dimensional origami
tube, which has been proven to exhibit unique mechanical properties and has wide …

This letter presents a novel robotic mechanism inspired by origami and its fabrication
method using three-dimensional (3D) printing. The selected twisted tower design shows …

The diverse folding motion of the origami structures induces a series of extraordinary
properties, which enriches their application prospects in engineering. In this paper, we …

Origami/kirigami, the ancient art of paper folding and cutting techniques, has provided
considerable inspiration for structural design routes in the engineering and medical fields …

Tendon-driven continuum robots have increasingly attracted attention these years.
Conventionally, such kind of robots utilizes elastic central backbones to hold the structure …

This paper presents OrigamiBot-I, a thread-actuated origami robot, to demonstrate a
physical application of an origami design for robotic manipulation and locomotion. The …

Origami‐inspired mechanisms have demonstrated a variety of beneficial features including
geometric complexity and structural resilience. However, a limited number of studies have …

Rigidly foldable origami tubes with open ends have been reported in the past. Here, using a
mechanism construction process, we show that these tubes can be used as building blocks …

Variable crease origami that exhibits crease topological morphing allows a given crease
pattern to be folded into multiple shapes, greatly extending the reconfigurability of origami …

In recent years, origami structures have been gradually applied in aerospace, flexible
electronics, biomedicine, robotics, and other fields. Origami can be folded from two …
