Towards printable robotics: Origami-inspired planar fabrication of three-dimensional mechanisms

This work presents a technique which allows the application of 2-D fabrication methods to build 3-D robotic systems. The ability to print robots introduces a fast and low-cost fabrication method to modern, real-world robotic applications. To this end, we employ laser-engraved origami patterns to bui...
