Active Origami
Origami structures have the ability to be easily fabricated from planar forms, enable the deployment of large structures from small volumes, and are potentially reconfigurable. These characteristics have led to an increased interest in theoretical and computational origami among engineers from across the world. In this book, the principles of origami, active materials, and solid mechanics are combined to present a full theory for origami structures. The focus is on origami structures morphed via active material actuation and formed from sheets of finite thickness. The detailed theoretical derivations and examples make this an ideal book for engineers and advanced students who aim to use origami principles to develop new applications in their field.
Proceedings of the 5th IEEE/IFToMM International Conference on Reconfigurable Mechanisms and Robots
The 5th IEEE/IFToMM International Conference on Re-configurable Mechanisms and Robots (ReMAR 2021) was held in Toronto, Canada on August 12-14, 2021 at Ryerson University. The conference proceedings include more than 70 papers on three main subjects, 1) Reconfigurable Mechanisms and Robotics, 2) Variable Topology and Morphing Mechanism, and 3)Origami and Bio-inspired mechanisms.
Proceedings of the 2022 USCToMM Symposium on Mechanical Systems and Robotics
This volume gathers the latest fundamental research contributions, innovations, and applications in the field of design and analysis of complex robotic mechanical systems, machines, and mechanisms, as presented by leading international researchers at the 2nd USCToMM Symposium on Mechanical Systems and Robotics (USCToMM MSR), held in Rapid City, South Dakota, USA on May 19-21, 2022. It covers highly diverse topics, including soft, wearable and origami robotic systems; applications to walking, flying, climbing, underground, swimming and space systems; human rehabilitation and performance augmentation; design and analysis of mechanisms and machines; human-robot collaborative systems; service robotics; mechanical systems and robotics education; and the commercialization of mechanical systems and robotics. The contributions, which were selected by means of a rigorous international peer-review process, highlight numerous exciting and impactful research results that will inspire novel research directions and foster multidisciplinary research collaborations among researchers from around the globe.
Origami${}^6$
is a unique collection of papers illustrating the connections between origami and a wide range of fields. The papers compiled in this two-part set were presented at the 6th International Meeting on Origami Science, Mathematics and Education (10-13 August 2014, Tokyo, Japan). They display the creative melding of origami (or, more broadly, folding) with fields ranging from cell biology to space exploration, from education to kinematics, from abstract mathematical laws to the artistic and aesthetics of sculptural design. This two-part book contains papers accessible to a wide audience, including those interested in art, design, history, and education and researchers interested in the connections between origami and science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Part 2 focuses on the connections of origami to education and more applied areas of science: engineering, physics, architecture, industrial design, and other artistic fields that go well beyond the usual folded paper.
L'Âge de la connaissance
L'auteur du best-seller Libérez votre cerveau ! revient avec un nouveau livre, toujours aussi visionnaire, sur l'économie de la connaissance, notre nouveau pétrole... " Comme la connerie, notre connaissance est infinie. Tout le contraire de notre système actuel fondé sur les hydrocarbures, dont la source finira inexorablement par se tarir. Ainsi, l'économie de la connaissance nous assure un développement durable. Une révolution ! Une économie qui ne ressemble pas à l'économie. Du moins pas à celle, vorace, que le monde a développée depuis la révolution industrielle. Mieux, elle en défie toutes les lois : sa matière première est inépuisable, elle favorise le partage, et son pouvoir d'achat dépend de chacun d'entre nous. Elle trouve déjà des prolongements majeurs grâce au biomimétisme : cet oeuf d'oiseau qui inspire les satellites, cette peau de requin qui a changé l'industrie aéronautique, ce coquillage qui a bouleversé notre regard sur le cerveau, etc. C'est donc un enjeu capital pour l'écologie, notre gestion des déchets ou encore la lutte contre la pauvreté... Il doit aujourd'hui guider toutes nos politiques. " I. A.
Tensegrity Systems
This book discusses analytical tools for designing energy efficient and lightweight structures that embody the concept of tensegrity. The book provides both static and dynamic analysis of special tensegrity structural concepts, which are motivated by biological material architecture. This is the first book written to attempt to integrate structure and control design.
