Research demonstrates enhanced self-foldability in cellular structures using origami techniques, suggesting applications in soft robotics and wearable devices.
Folding pathways and energy landscapes in origami-inspired systems The S-FOAM project aims to enhance metamaterial design by integrating origami/kirigami techniques into cellular structures, allowing for self-foldability and shape-morphing in response to stimuli. This research seeks to optimise material stiffness, strength and resilience. Potential applications include soft robotics, wearable devices, adaptive medical devices and flexible solar panels that adjust their shape according to sunlight.
