Origami robots that reshape and transform themselves

This lesson explores the innovative concept of "robogami," a fusion of origami and robotics developed by Jamie Paik and her team. By using ultra-thin materials, they’ve created robots that can fold, reshape, and adapt to perform various tasks. Paik demonstrates how these “robogamis” can roll, jump, catapult, and even pulse like a beating heart, with potential applications both on Earth and in space.
Key topics include:

1. The concept of robotic origami, known as “robogami”
2. How robogamis are created using folding techniques and thin materials
3. The functions, potential, and applications of robogamis in different environments

This lesson is based on the TED Talk, Origami Robots That Reshape and Transform Themselves by Jamie Paik.
