The art of paper folding is helping researchers overcome obsticles when designing new robotics. From Hackaday:
A promising technology here involves the manipulation of flat structures in a way that enables them to either auto-assemble into 3D structures, or to non-destructively transform into 3D structures with specific features such as grippers that might be useful in both micro- and macroscopic applications, including robotics.
Perhaps the most interesting part is how much of these technologies borrow from the Japanese art of origami, and the related kirigami.
