Foldable Structure

Foldable structures are being actively researched for applications in robotics, wearables, and manufacturing, with a primary objective of creating adaptable, lightweight, and easily deployable systems. Current research focuses on developing modular designs, often incorporating origami principles or inflatable components, and employing both learning-free and machine learning-based methods for control and grasping. These advancements are improving the efficiency and dexterity of robotic manipulators, enabling more versatile wearable technologies, and facilitating the creation of complex, customized metal structures through innovative manufacturing techniques.
