"In this study, a Miura-derived origami tube is designed and its precise circular closing condition and mechanical properties are analyzed, revealing that the origami tube has programmable stiffness characteristics." "Folding a flat sheet under a specific crease pattern may form a three-dimensional origami tube, which has been proven to exhibit unique mechanical properties and has wide engineering applications," Junfeng He, Guilin Wen and their colleagues told Tech Xplore. This robot, introduced in a pre-print paper published on SSRN, can contract and bend following specific patterns to complete different tasks.
Modular origami projects series#
Researchers at Guangzhou University, Yanshan University, and other universities in China recently created a new modular continuous robot constructed of a series of tubes based on a specific origami fold, known as the Miura fold. This is because it offers predefined models and patterns through which 2D sheets of materials can be turned into elaborate 3D structures with different mechanical properties. If you liked it then please vote for it in the Crafting 101 contest, and please comment also.Origami, the Asian art of folding paper to create 3D decorative shapes, can be a valuable inspiration for the creation of modular robotic structures. Thank you for reading this instructable, and i hope it will help you with making one of your own. So as you can see there are many things that you can make that are very beautiful. It is about half a meter tall 18 Inches exactly. I also made a coiling cobra snake that you can see and for that i used larger pieces to fold the modules from so the snake would be larger proportions. I made a vase with 2400 modules, and the yellow swan is a swan with a 30 module base instead of the 40 that I like best. There are indues possibilities of things that you can make with these 3D modular pieces. These are great items for gift boutiques and you can make them specialized colors or with highlights or certain colored pieces throughout. It will make a perfect gift for a loved one and will usually inspire and impress all who see it. This is a perfect centerpiece for a mantel place, or in a china or curio cabinet. This is important to get the right curves so it does not look wrong. This is your finished swan, but you can still kind of form and work the curves of the wings and the head to your liking. Now that you have this line you must connect the two ends together so that you now have a ring like the second video shows. 40 on the top row and 40 on the bottom row. Continue adding modules on top then on bottom until you have used all 80 modules like the first video shows.
With the left leg of the first module, place it inside the right pocket of a third module. So to put it another way grab one module and take the right leg and insert it into the left pocket of another module. make sure that the pointy sides are all facing out on the base and the rest of the swan unless otherwise directed like when you reverse the curvature of the form to make the head. IMPORTANT NOTICE: the modules have a pointy 45 degree side and a less pointy 90 degree side. To assemble them you will put the leg of one into the pocket of another, but you must make sure to keep them alternating like bricks so that each new module you put on is resting on two different modules. You will notice that each module will have two legs and two pockets.
I have used some really messed up modules to make an entire swan and it still looked just as stunning as any other. Again, it is not crucial that you have every single piece perfect. Your hands will learn the correct moves and you will be able to start skipping the second fold and just eyeball the folds inside. This seems tedious and extremely time consuming, but it is very relaxing and meditative especially if you absently fold them while listening to music, an audiobook, or while watching a movie. Now you must repeat those steps until you have 592 modules. Next, flip it over and fold the outside corners into the edge of the paper, now fold the flaps down over the edge of the paper and fold it in half over the center so the flaps you folded down are now on the inside. Then open the last fold, which is the width way, and fold the bottom left side to meet the inside crease and do the same to the bottom right side. follow the instructions below and the pictures above to fold the modulesįold each piece in half length-wise, and then fold in half width-wise. Now that you have all 20 sheets cut, then the next step is to fold them all into the modules.
