Origami has served as the inspiration for a number of engineered systems. In most cases,
they require nonpaper materials where material thickness is non-negligible. Foldable …

Thin sheets have long been known to experience an increase in stiffness when they are
bent, buckled, or assembled into smaller interlocking structures. We introduce a unique …

Thin sheets assembled into three dimensional folding origami can have various applications
from reconfigurable architectural structures to metamaterials with tunable properties …

A foldable arm is one of the practical applications of folding. It can help mobile robots and
unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) overcome access issues by allowing them to reach into …

Twists, Tilings, and Tessellation describes the underlying principles and mathematics of the
broad and exciting field of abstract and mathematical origami, most notably the field of …

The deployment of a cylinder based on origami with Kresling pattern, whose basic
mechanisms are formed by the buckling of a thin cylindrical shell under torsional loading, is …

Deployable structures have the capacity to transform and predictably adopt multiple
predetermined configurations, moving through known paths, while deploying in a controlled …

Starting from simple notions of paper folding, a review of current challenges regarding folds
and structures is presented. A special focus is dedicated to folded tessellations which are …

Thin sheets can be assembled into origami tubes to create a variety of deployable,
reconfigurable and mechanistically unique three-dimensional structures. We introduce and …
