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 …

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

This study examines a biology-inspired approach of using reconfigurable articulation to
reduce the control requirement for soft robotic arms. We construct a robotic arm by …

Origami structure has nonlinear characteristics, which can broaden the vibration frequency
band and improve the dynamic responses. By combining the origami structure with the …

Multi-directional low-frequency vibration isolation is an unavoidable problem in many
practical engineering scenarios. However, to date, most works are unable to achieve this …

While memory effects emerge from systems of wildly varying lengthscales and timescales,
the reduction of a complex system with many interacting elements into one simple enough to …

Structures inspired by the Kresling origami pattern have recently emerged as a foundation
for building functional engineering systems with versatile characteristics that target niche …

Origami has recently emerged as a platform for building functional engineering systems with
versatile characteristics that targeted niche applications. One widely utilized origami-based …

This Letter presents a programmable path to multi-stability of the Kresling origami by
introducing bio-inspired nonlinear creases. The origami mathematical model is proposed for …

The presence of Origami patterns in the anatomy of many biological species compels a
