Design of a Novel Mutliple-DOF Extendable Arm With Rigid Components Inspired by a Deployable Origami Structure

An extendable robot inspired by origami is designed, analyzed, and tested. Its deployable origami structure has a large extension ratio, allowing the robot to extend the body length multiple times. The new robot, however, differs from the existing origami structure in two aspects. One is that the ro
