Origami-inspired kinematic morphing surfaces

Abstract:

In the past decades, an emerging technology has tried to build robots from soft materials to mimic living organisms in nature. Despite the flexibility and adaptability offered by such robots, the soft materials introduce very high or even infinite degrees of freedom (DoFs). It is thus challenging to achieve controllable shape changes on soft materials, which are essential for robots to carry out their functions.

Many material-based approaches have been attempted to constrain the ex...
