BYU's origami-inspired antenna self-deploys for space applications. Produced by BYU Video. It's hard to imagine modern life without cell phones, GPS navigation, wide-spread internet, weather ...

BYU’s Compliant Mechanisms Research lab recently completed a five-year project for the U.S. Air Force, developing designs for a foldable space antennae array that embodies design principles inspired, ...

After five years of research and several hours spent folding paper, BYU professors are presenting origami-inspired technology to NASA and the U.S. Air Force.

In theory, their design — which was largely inspired by the paper-folding art of origami — offers a more efficient way to send assembly structures into space, where the robot could then ...

Shutterstock Origami techniques produce stiff but expandable engineering structures with potential applications across industries such as transportation, robotics and space exploration.

Brigham Young University’s Compliant Mechanisms Research Lab is designing space technology inspired by the ancient art of origami. “How can we go in and look at this art form which is ...
