Abstract: Printandfold manufacturing has the potential to democratize access to robots with robots that are easier to fabricate using materials that are easier to procure. Unfortunately, a lack of understanding about how motion can ...

Abstract: This work presents a system by which users can easily create printable origamiinspired robots from highlevel structural specifications. Starting from a library of basic mechanical, electrical, and software building blocks, ...

Abstract: Origamibased design methods enable complex devices to be fabricated quickly in plane and then folded into their final 3D shapes. So far, these folded structures have been designed manually. This paper presents a geometric ...

Abstract: This paper describes a method for manufacturing complex threedimensional curved structures by selffolding layered materials. Our main focus is to first show that the material can cope with curved crease selffolding and ...
