Foldable Robotics

Foldable robotics involves designing robots with flexible, foldable structures that can change shape to adapt to different tasks or environments. These robots use materials and mechanisms that allow them to fold or unfold, improving portability, storage, and versatility. Applications include medical devices that can be compact during transport and expand for use, or robots that navigate tight spaces by folding to access hard-to-reach areas. This approach combines advanced material science and engineering to create adaptable, efficient robotic systems capable of performing multiple functions while maintaining a compact form.
