Nowadays, harvesting delicate and high-value fruits, vegetables, and edible fungi requires a
large input of manual human labor. The relatively low wages and many health problems the …

Origami technology has applications in diverse areas, such as metamaterials, space
structures, and haptic interfaces due to the low-cost manufacturing, rapid assembly, and …

Origami structures can transform their form and function by changing the direction of their
folds. This reconfiguration can enable multifunctional robots, but doing so requires a fast …

Single-degree-of-freedom continuous variable bending mechanisms (Single-DOF CVBMs)
have been widely used because of their flexible properties and simple control. However …

Origami has been a source of inspiration for the design of robots because it can be easily
produced using 2D materials and its motions can be well quantified. However, most …

This letter proposes a novel single-fingered reconfigurable robotic gripper for grasping
objects in narrow working spaces. The finger of the developed gripper realizes two …

Origami exhibits the remarkable ability to transform into diverse shapes, including
quadrilaterals, triangles, and more complex polygons. This unique property has inspired the …

Origami provides an opportunity to construct a wide range of 3D functional structures by
folding a flat sheet. It can be used to develop various soft functional robots by combining soft …

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

In the field of aquaculture and aquatic organism management, there is a need to transport
both liquids and solids simultaneously. For instance, when dealing with fry or delicate …
