- This paper uses kirigami folds to create a novel wormlike robot of centimetre-scale, including rigorous modelling and prototyping. This work has been described as a state-of-the-art bio-inspired robotic applications with SMA (Sohn, Appl. Sci, 2018, doi: 10.3390/app8101928), and used as inspiration for creating robot locomotion (Rus and Tolley, “Design, fabrication and control of origami robots,” Nature Reviews Materials, 2018) and designing a new additive manufacture technique for fabrication (Kwok and Chen, J. Manufacturing Science and Engineering, 2017). Led to £700K EPSRC award EP/P026087/1 for KCL and Queen’s University Belfast.
