Origami-inspired machines are a promising approach to robotic transformation. In this letter,
we present a new method for transformation that uses dynamic response to change the …

This letter presents a self-folding piston-style actuator for flat-foldable robots. Despite the
variety of soft and planar actuators used in origami robots, extensional actuators are …

Currently, type-2 fuzzy systems, fuzzy control strategies, and origami structures have been
used in robots to assist in the comfortable and smooth operation of such robots. Recent …

This paper presents a motor driven wrist brace that can adjust its stiffness by changing its
mesoscale geometry. The design involves a plate structure that folds from a flexible flat …

Folding machine is a tool that is needed in the small and medium scale laundry industry that
has a goal for the efficiency of production time. The flip folder is the main component of this …

Orthogonally assembled double-layered corrugated (OADLC) mechanisms are a class of
foldable structures that harness origami-inspired methods to enhance the structural stiffness …

In this paper, we present the design, modeling and, fabrication of a soft bending actuator that
combines casting techniques and additive manufacturing. We performed tests to evaluate …

Anchoring is an important capability for mobile robots to conserve power, survey an area, or
deploy a payload. However, the careful placement of an anchor in unstructured …

In the design of practical grasping tools such as forceps or grippers, it may be desirable to
create a compact, lightweight, and easily manufactured tool. Origami inspired designs can …

Pneumatic actuators have gained huge popularity in the field of soft robotics. A class of this
kind of devices exploits inflatable thin membranes which generate a desired displacement …
