- Origami tubes assembled into stiff, yet reconfigurable structures and metamaterials (2015, background): “Origami principles have broad and varied applications, from solar arrays (11) and building façades (12) to robotics (13), mechanisms in stent grafts (14), and DNA-sized boxes (15).”
- Concrete material science: Past, present, and future innovations (2018, background): ““Origamics” [233] is at the center of an intense exploration activity for (possible) applications as diverse as solar arrays [237], deployable curtain walls for light control [234], self-foldable robots [238], or self-deployable stent grafts [239], just to name a few.”
- Harnessing Interpretable Machine Learning for Origami Feature Design and Pattern Selection (2022, background): “Active origami systems are superior to passive origami because they can achieve folding motions on their own without relying on human hands or external mechanisms connected to the origami (3, 4, 38, 39).”
- Rational design of reconfigurable prismatic architected materials (2017, methodology): “2a-c), using a stepwise layering and laser-cutting technique (see Supplementary Information: Methods).(26,27) Focusing on the three architected materials shown in Fig.”
- A crawling robot driven by multi-stable origami (2017, background): “For example, Rus, Wood and co-workers demonstrated how self-assembly can be used to create a deployable robot that folds itself from a flat sheet and walks away [10] and the diversity of origami patterns which are useful for locomotion [9].”
