In these platforms, individual folds on an initially flat sheet are patterned so that the structure folds autonomously into a desired three dimensional shape.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe dream is to develop a system in which three-dimensional structures can be fabricated from a rapid roll-to-roll process. Yet, in our experiments with self-folding origami, structures sometimes misfold, especially as they become more complicated.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EIn this talk, I will discuss a model to understand why self-folding origami misfolds by counting the number of folding pathways of \u0026ldquo;random\u0026rdquo; origami. Finally, I will discuss methods that may circumvent the problem and suppress misfolds.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Self-folding Self-folding Origami"}],"uid":"30957","created_gmt":"2017-10-18 16:50:48","changed_gmt":"2017-10-23 18:13:35","author":"Shaun Ashley","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2017-10-24T16:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2017-10-24T17:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2017-10-24T17:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2017-10-24 20:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2017-10-24 21:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2017-10-24 21:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"126011","name":"School of Physics"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"960","name":"physics"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003Eshaun.ashley@physics.gatech.edu\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
