- This paper presents a new class of additive manufacturing method called additive folding. By accordion-folding a lasercut self-folding strip, a 3D structure is instantly formed within a few seconds by dipping the strip into water. The structure can be simultaneously controlled by embedded strings thus it becomes an animatronic soft robot that shows life-like movements. The work has been a collaboration with MIT (contact: Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science), KIST (contact: Senior Research Scientist) and, UPenn (contact: Professor of Robotics). Resulted in invited talks, e.g., workshop speaker at MARSS conference (2019).
