Embedded Active Stiffening Mechanisms to Modulate Kresling Tower Kinetostatic Properties

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…
