Foldable Robot Structures

Foldable Robot Structures is a mechanical structure design methodology that enables robotic systems to reconfigure their geometry through folding transformations, distinguishing itself by integrating foldable components or joints inspired by origami or kirigami principles to achieve compactness, deployability, and adaptability in constrained environments.
