Non-rigidly foldable origamis are of great interest to build robotic components, as they are light, offer large deployability and can also be multistable. In this paper, we consider the Kresling tower, and propose an original way to actively modulate its kinetostatic properties. Actuated stiffening mechanisms are embedded on some folds of the origami. By adjusting the axial stiffness of the folds,...
