Paper Power: Origami Technology Makes its Way into Quadcopters - EurekAlert


<p><strong>Quadcopters, the most popular type of low-cost drone, are being extensively used in many industrial fields. However, introducing grasping capabilities into these lightweight flying devices is challenging. In a recent study, researchers developed a self-folding origami gripper, which can be attached to a quadcopter to enable it to grasp small objects. Thanks to its low weight, respectable holding strength, and biodegradable properties, the proposed design could revolutionize how origami technology is incorporated into quadcopters. </strong></p>
