Stiffness Control With Shape Memory Polymer in Underactuated Robotic Origamis

Jamie Paik, Amir Firouzeh, Marco Salerno

Underactuated systems offer compact design with easy actuation and control but at the cost of limited stable con- figurations and reduced dexterity compared to the directly driven and fully actuated systems. Here, we propose a compact origamibased design i ...

A Low Profile Electromagnetic Actuator Design and Model for an Origami Parallel Platform

Jamie Paik, Amir Firouzeh, Marco Salerno

Thin foldable origami mechanisms allow reconfiguration of complex structures with large volumetric change, versatility, and at low cost; however, there is rarely a systematic way to make them autonomously actuated due to the lack of low profile actuators. ...

Soft piezoresistive sensor model and characterization with varying design parameters

Jamie Paik, Amir Firouzeh, Antoine Foba Amon Junior

Recent robots target safety, reconfigurability and interactivity by addressing the “softness” of the hardware either by endowing additional degrees-of-freedom or through inherent compliancy. These robots require distributed sensing with flexibility and sof ...

Robogami: A Fully Integrated Low-Profile Robotic Origami

Jamie Paik, Amir Firouzeh

Intelligent robotic systems that can react to unprogrammed tasks and unforeseen environmental changes require augmented "softness." Robogami, a low-profile origami robot, addresses intrinsic (material-wise) and extrinsic (mechanism-wise) softness with its ...

The Design and Modeling of a Novel Resistive Stretch Sensor With Tunable Sensitivity

Jamie Paik, Amir Firouzeh

Wearable technologies, interactive and safe robotic systems require an effective actuator control that highly depends on the accurate feedback from flexible and dense array of sensors. In this paper, we introduce a novel soft stretch sensor design that is ...

Sensor and actuator integrated low-profile robotic Origami

Jamie Paik, Yi Sun, Amir Firouzeh

The robotic origami (Robogami) is a low-profile, sheet-like robot with multi degrees-of-freedom (DoF) that embeds different functional layers. Due to its planar form, it can take advantage of precise 2D fabrication methods usually reserved for micro and na ...
