Abstract Origami, a traditional and elegant folding technique, provides a solution for the deformation of three-dimensional structures. Inspired by this, origami-based soft actuators and robots exhibit the advantages of portability, high efficiency, and programmability when performing functions such as locomotion, manipulation, and interaction. However, these deformable origami structures bring challenges to sensing methods and technologies, due to hyperelastic deformations of the soft materials. In this work, a sensing approach is proposed to enable origami robots with proprioceptive and interactive sensing capabilities. The 3D-printed Miura-ori chambers of the robot are embedded with infrared optical sensors (a light-emitting… More >
