Origami Structure

Origami structures are being actively investigated for their unique mechanical properties and potential applications in robotics, deployable structures, and sensing. Current research focuses on developing novel origami mechanisms with enhanced kinematic control, exploring the use of metamaterials and unconventional geometries like the Golden Ratio Yoshimura pattern for increased versatility, and integrating origami with advanced actuation methods such as string-driven systems and bi-directional actuators. These advancements are enabling the creation of sophisticated origami-based robots, sensors, and adaptive structures, demonstrating the potential of origami principles for innovative engineering solutions.
