Hinges and Curved Lamina Emergent Torsional Joints in Cylindrical Developable Mechanisms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Cylindrical developable mechanisms are devices that conform to and emerge from a cylindrical surface. These mechanisms can be formed or cut from the cylinder wall itself. This paper presents a study on adapting traditional ...
An Origami-Based Medical Support System to Mitigate Flexible Shaft Buckling
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents the development of an origami-inspired support system (the OriGuide) that enables the insertion of flexible instruments using medical robots. Varying parameters of a triangulated cylindrical origami ...
