Nature has evolved to shape morphing to adapt to complex environments while engaging
with the surroundings. Inspired by this capability, robots are expected to be endowed with …

Origami is the traditional Japanese art of paper folding. Due to its fascinating properties,
several attempts are being actively made to expand applications of origami-inspired designs …

An extendable robot inspired by origami is designed, analyzed, and tested. Its deployable
origami structure has a large extension ratio, allowing the robot to extend the body length …

This work presents a unique approach to the design, fabrication, and characterization of
paper-based origami robotic systems consisting of stackable pneumatic actuators. These …

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 …

Using origami folding to construct and actuate mechanisms and machines offers attractive
opportunities from small, scalable, and cheap robots to deployable adaptive structures. This …

Three basic deformation modes of an object (bending, twisting, and contraction/extension)
along with their various combinations and delicate controls lead to diverse locomotion. As a …

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 …
