Our research “Soft-robotically Actuated Tessellation Origami” was presented at the 2019 IEEE UK & Ireland Robotics and Automation Society (RAS) Conference, hosted at King’s College London. This project explores how tessellation origami structures can be engineered as reconfigurable, soft-robotic systems with potential application as haptic feedback interfaces in semi-autonomous vehicles.
The study investigates the use of soft robotic actuators to drive origami-inspired geometries capable of shifting between multiple configurations. These structures demonstrate promising capabilities for creating body-responsive, tactile feedback surfaces that can inform drivers during transitions between different levels of autonomy.
This work forms part of an interdisciplinary research effort bridging robotics, origami engineering, human–machine interaction , and smart material systems.
