This letter presents a novel cable-driven hybrid origami-inspired actuator with load-bearing capability. In contrast to conventional origami, the hybrid origami layer of the actuator is characterized by resilient hinges and rigid facets. The layers are bonded and assembled with the motors that apply
In this letter, a novel soft origami module is proposed to detect multi-directional bending. The module is inspired by the deformability and adaptability of the piezoelectric sensor and origami structure. The detection of applied bending was conducted by the deflection of the piezoelectric sensor, w
In this letter, a novel cable-driven soft origami multimodal actuator is proposed. The proposed actuator comprises multiple origamis based on the Yoshimura pattern. The origami-based actuator performs both linear and bending motion by exploiting the unique folding state of the origami structure usin
