Snap‐through bistability is often observed in nature (eg, fast snapping to closure of Venus
flytrap) and the life (eg, bottle caps and hair clippers). Recently, harnessing bistability and …

Origami traces its origins to an ancient art form transforming flat thin surfaces into various
complex, fabulous 3D objects. Nowadays, such transformation transcends art by offering a …

Inspired by the embodied intelligence observed in octopus arms, we introduce magnetically
controlled origami robotic arms based on Kresling patterns for multimodal deformations …

Mechanical mechanisms have been used to process information for millennia, with famous
examples ranging from the Antikythera mechanism of the Ancient Greeks to the analytical …

Thick-panel origami has shown great potential in engineering applications. However, the
thick-panel origami created by current design methods cannot be readily adopted to …

In recent decades, origami has been explored to aid in the design of engineering structures.
These structures span multiple scales and have been demonstrated to be used toward …

Mechanical computing requires matter to adapt behavior according to retained knowledge,
often through integrated sensing, actuation, and control of deformation. However, inefficient …

The origami hyperbolic paraboloid, or the hypar, is widely known for its characteristic non-
zero Gaussian curvature and multi-stable states. Previous investigations have mainly …

Deployability, multifunctionality, and tunability are features that can be explored in the
design space of origami engineering solutions. These features arise from the shape …

Once merely ancient arts, origami (ie, paper folding) and kirigami (ie, paper cutting) have in
recent years also become popular for building mechanical metamaterials and now provide …
