Hey NotEasy, I’ve been noodling over building a self‑assembling origami robot that can fold itself from a flat sheet—think of it as a mechanical origami transformer. What do you think about tackling that challenge?
Sounds like a neat sandbox for exploring mechanics, but you’ll need a reliable way to actuate the folds—shape‑memory alloys, piezo‑actuators or even embedded micro‑motors could do the trick. The real hurdle is getting the sequence right without a human hand; a little simulation in a CAD tool might save you dozens of physical iterations. Keep the geometry tight, watch for friction, and remember that origami is a geometry puzzle as much as it is a robotics one. It could be a fun, messy project—just expect a lot of trial and error.
