Rigid-foldable origami (or rigid origami) is a piecewise linear origami that is continuously
transformable along its folds without deformation by bending or folding of any facet …

Over the past decade, there has been an obvious expansion in the exploration and
application of mathematical and computational origami.“Ted Talks,” documentaries such as …

Transformable polyhedral surfaces with rigid facets, ie, rigid origami, are useful for designing
kinetic and deployable structures. In order to apply rigid origami to various architectural and …

A technique for thickness accommodation in origami-inspired mechanism design is
introduced. Mathematically, origami panels are generally assumed to be planar with zero …

Origami has served as the inspiration for a number of engineered systems. In most cases,
they require nonpaper materials where material thickness is non-negligible. Foldable …

Origami has emerged as a powerful mechanism for designing functional foldable and
deployable structures. Among various origami patterns, a large class of origami exhibits …

Origami has emerged as a tool for designing three-dimensional structures from flat films.
Because they can be fabricated by lithographic or roll-to-roll processing techniques, they …

Thick-panel origami has been studied extensively. One of the approaches converts origami
creases to simple rotational connections and treats thick-panel origami as assembly of …

Paper folding is found across cultures for both aesthetic and functional purposes, with its
most widely recognized exponent being the ancient art form of origami. More recently, there …

Rigid foldability is an important characteristic of origami structures that becomes significant
with non-paper materials. A rigidly foldable origami tessellation is one where the sectors …
