“We’ve designed a 3-D, thin-walled structure that can be used to make foldable and reprogrammable objects of arbitrary architecture, whose shape, volume, and stiffness can be dramatically altered and continuously tuned and controlled,” said Johannes TB Overvelde, a graduate student in Bertoldi’s lab and first author of the paper. In a way similar to origami, the cube can be easily folded along its edges for shape alteration. The researchers fixed pneumatic actuators in the structure, which can be set to deform particular hinges, altering the shape and size of the cube, and won’t need external input....
