Self-folding origami: shape memory composites activated by uniform heating (2014, methodology): “Third, the use of a heat-activated SMP layer precludes the use of solid sheet adhesives used to achieve the ‘mechanical vias’ in previous complex pop-up designs [19].”
Foldscope: Origami-Based Paper Microscope (2014, background): “More recently, possibilities of folding completely functional robots have been explored (5-7), with actuators, sensors and flexures integrated in a seamless fashion.”
Fluid-driven origami-inspired artificial muscles (2017, methodology): “For small FOAMs at the millimeter or centimeter scales, many monolithic methods can be used for skeleton fabrication (11), including 3D-printing (12), self-folding (13–15), pop-up MEMS (16,17), laser-cutting (18–20), soft lithography (21,22), and photo-lithography (23,24), etc.”
