Episode Synopsis "Optimal Design of Self-Folding Origami"

In this seminar, recent developments in the design of self-folding origami will be presented. A design framework consisting of target shape identification and rigid foldability analysis, modeling and optimization, and prototype fabrication will be described. Particular focus will be on finite element and rigid body dynamic modeling and optimization approaches for single and multi-field actuation of self-folding origami structures.
