Researchers detail new data in robotics. According to news reporting originating from Hangzhou, People's Republic of China, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, "In this work, we propose a variation of Miura origami which, different from the existing out-of-plane bending Miura origami, has an in-plane bent configuration due to its graded crease pattern." Funders for this research include National Natural Science Foundation of China; Joint Fund of Science And Technology Department of Liaoning Province And State Key Laboratory of Robotics China; Japan Science And Technology Agency; The Open Foundation of Hubei Key Laboratory of Theory And Application of Advanced Materials Mechanics. Our news reporters obtained a quote from the research from Zhejiang University: "By combining with the one-way shape memory alloy spring, we show that the proposed graded Miura origami can serve as a smart actuator and can be applied to drive crawling robots or grippers. First, we constructed a physical model of the graded Miura origami, from which a curvature-programmable geometric equation is proposed. Then, in addition to providing a mechanical model that can capture the mechanical behavior of the initial force-displacement relationship of the curved beam, we show that the proposed curved origami has a different mechanical behavior compared to the corresponding simple flexible arch, specifically if realized by silicon rubbers. By arranging anisotropic friction to the feet, the origami robot can crawl with an omega-elongation/compression motion like an inchworm."
