Design and Analysis of a Soft Pneumatic Actuator with Origami Shell Reinforcement (2016, positive): “Recent work has shown that origami tubes made from thin sheets can be used to create a wide variety of deployable, reconfigurable, and mechanistically unique three dimensional structures.(32) Some examples of robotic structures deriving origami inspiration can be found in Onal et al.”
Mechanical metamaterials associated with stiffness, rigidity and compressibility: a brief review (2017, background): “Interwoven cellular origami metamaterials may be derived from the assembly of rigidly folded origami tubes, tessellated to fill space through periodic and affine transformations [205,206].”
Origami-inspired, on-demand deployable and collapsible mechanical metamaterials with tunable stiffness (2018, methodology): “In addition to utilizing mechanical mechanisms to lock the deployed state, the discovery of deployable and yet stiff origami patterns, such as zipper-coupled tubes (6), has gained attention.”
