Variable Stiffness Folding Joints for Haptic Feedback
Fabio Zuliani,Jamie Paik,Fabio Zuliani,Jamie Paik
Origami robots composed of rigid parts with flexible joints have inherent compliance that enables deployment and reconfiguration for various shape adaptations. The major drawback of such mechanical compliance is its intrinsic softness and lack of controllability of this stiffness. In this work, we propose a design of variable stiffness origami joints to be integrated into large scale origami syste...
