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 …

Over the past decades, interest in shape memory polymers (SMPs) has persisted, and
immense efforts have been dedicated to developing SMPs and their multifunctional …

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

Origami‐based designs refer to the application of the ancient art of origami to solve
engineering problems of different nature. Despite being implemented at dimensions that …

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 …

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 …

Abstract Machines are systems that harness input power to extend or advance function.
Fundamentally, machines are based on the integration of materials with mechanisms to …

Low modulus materials that can shape-morph into different three-dimensional (3D)
configurations in response to external stimuli have wide-ranging applications in …

Origami is inspiring several fields of knowledge such as engineering, aerospace systems,
medicine, and biomechanics, motivating the creation of novel adaptive and morphing …
