New origami patterns
The project is actively developing new origami patterns that are suitable for a universal electromagnetic surface. These patterns consist of tiles that can carry active electronics, and have the ability to morph into a range of shapes. Robert Lang has designed a new origami pattern by modifying the well-known “waterbomb” pattern. This new pattern is characterized by tiles, and can readily morph into multiple shapes including flat, cylindrical about two axes and hemispherical. The tiles can be designed to be active EM surfaces, and the pattern can be scaled to accommodate nxn tiles for any odd number n.
