Origami Spring-Inspired Shape Morphing for Flexible Robotics [PDF]
Soft Robotics, 2022 Flexible robotics are capable of achieving various functionalities by shape morphing, benefiting from their compliant bodies and reconfigurable structures. Here we construct and study a class of origami springs generalized from the known interleaved origami spring, as promising candidates for shape morphing in flexible robotics. These springs are found

Excess Floppy Modes and Multi-Branched Mechanisms in Metamaterials with Symmetries [PDF]
, 2019 Floppy modes --- deformations that cost zero energy --- are central to the mechanics of a wide class of systems. For disordered systems, such as random networks and particle packings, it is well-understood how the number of floppy modes is controlled by ...
