Origami robotics

Origami robotics is a field that combines the ancient art of paper folding with modern engineering and technology to create robotic systems. By using techniques inspired by origami, engineers design robots that can fold, unfold, and transform shapes, allowing them to change their form and function. These adaptable robots can be compact for storage and then expand into complex structures for various applications, such as medical devices, search and rescue operations, or environmental monitoring. This innovative approach leverages the principles of geometry and material science to enhance robotic performance and flexibility in dynamic environments.
