And yet, researchers have now found a new class of origami that they call bloom patterns. Resembling idealized flowers, many bloom patterns are rotationally symmetric around the center.

This paper presents an origami-inspired technique which allows the application of 2-D fabrication methods to build 3-D robotic systems. The ability to design robots as origami structures introduces a ...

What is origami? Can new origami design solve engineering challenges? Origami bloom pattern has applications in space systems, medical devices ...

Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is one of the most challenging techniques for robot designers due to the limited size of access points, the high miniaturization level, and the dexterity needed for ...
