Ultra-tunable bistable structures for universal robotic applications

Jamie Paik, Ke Liu, Xin Tong, Lei Wang, Hongying Zhang, Yongkang Jiang

Bistable structures in nature are unparalleled for their fast response and force amplification even with the most minute physical stimula-tion. However, current works on bistable structures mainly focus on their stable states, while promising intermediate ...

Lattice-and-Plate Model: Mechanics Modeling of Physical Origami Robots

Jamie Paik, Hongying Zhang

Origami robots are characterized by their compact design, quasi-two-dimensional manufacturing process, and folding joint-based transmission kinematics. The physical requirements in terms of payload, range of motion, and embedding core robotic components ha ...

Kirigami Design and Modeling for Strong, Lightweight Metamaterials

Jamie Paik, Hongying Zhang

Kirigami is the art of paper cutting, and it is emerging as an elegant design and manufacturing solution in mechanical metamaterials. Currently, the majority of kirigami designs focus on shape-morphing, but there is little attention on the remarkable mecha ...

Generalized modeling of origami folding joints

Jamie Paik, Jian-Lin Huang, Huijuan Feng, Hongying Zhang

Origami robots self-reconfigure from a quasi two-dimensional manufactured state to three-dimensional mobile robots. By folding, they excel in transforming their initial spatial configuration to expand their functionalities. However, unlike paper-based orig ...

Multimodal pipe-climbing robot with origami clutches and soft modular legs

Jamie Paik, Frédéric Henri Vaskin Giraud, Hongying Zhang, Yongkang Jiang

In nature, climbing trees and pipes of varying diameters or even navigating inside of hollow pipes and tree holes is easy for some climbing animals and insects. However, today's pipe-climbing robots, which are important for automatically conducting periodi ...

Magnetic spin-orbit interaction of light steers Bloch surface waves

Maria-Pilar Bernal, Hans Peter Herzig, Huihui Lü, Myun Sik Kim, Hongying Zhang

We show the directional excitation of Bloch surface waves controlled by the magnetic field of light. The phenomenon in play is the first magnetic spin-orbit interaction of light. It opens new degrees of freedom in the manipulation of light and offers appea ...
