Could a flat piece of fabric hold a 3D shape, the way paper does in origami? Aiming to find out, researchers from the Cornell ...

Abstract: This paper presents a novel approach to realize 3D-printed flexible reconfigurable antennas, along with a proof-of-concept tunable bow-tie antenna inspired from Chinese origami fan.

Abstract: While vacuum-based bending actuation offers benefits such as safety and compactness in soft robotics, it is often overlooked due to its limited actuation pressure, which restricts both ...
