- BYU researchers unfold new class of mechanical devices
It took just over 10 years, but real science has finally caught up to the science fiction of Iron Man’s transforming exoskeleton suit. In a paper published Feb. 13, 2019, in Science Robotics, engineers at Brigham Young University (#BYU) detail new technology that allows them to build complex mechanisms into the exterior of a structure without taking up any actual space below the surface.
This new class of origami-inspired mechanisms, called “developable mechanisms,” get their name from developable surfaces, or materials that can take on 3-D shapes from flat conformations without tearing or stretching, like a sheet of paper or metal. They reside in a curved surface (like, say, the arms of Iron Man’s suit) and can transform or morph when deployed to serve unique functions. When not in use, they can fold back into the surface of the structure seamlessly.
“These new discoveries make it possible to build complex machines that integrate with surfaces to be very compact, but can deploy and do complex tasks,” said researcher Larry Howell, professor of mechanical engineering at BYU. “It opens up a whole new world of potential devices that have more functions, but are still very compact.”
Making hyper-compact mechanisms is something increasingly important as manufacturers across medical, space and military industries are constantly working to get more complex functionality in less space. Potential applications of developable mechanisms include:
• Medical: Surgical instruments that can both cut materials and deploy lights simultaneously during minimally-invasive surgery
• Vehicles and airplanes: Storage components that could deploy from the inner surface of the fuselage and be completely out of the way when not in use
• Military: Quad-rotor drones that have adjustable wing spans for fitting in tight spaces
• Space: Wheels that could deploy claws for rock crawling, which could be especially useful to an interplanetary rover.
This new class of mechanical structures evolved from Howell and colleague Spencer Magleby’s work on origami-based engineering, done in collaboration with origami artist Robert Lang. From solar arrays for NASA to bulletproof barriers for police officers, their work has generated national and international coverage. As the group of researchers moved to curved origami principles, the mathematics revealed a new way of doing more complex machines.
“Origami was a stepping stone to this,” Magleby said. “The art of Origami has inspired us to do things that don’t even look like Origami, yet it is the core of much of this new engineering.”
The new line of research is sponsored by the National Science Foundation and includes researchers at BYU, the University of Southern Indiana and Lang Origami.
“It’s pretty cool to accomplish things that have merely been science fiction in the past,” Howell said. “These are discoveries that will enable us to do things that no one has ever been able to do before. And we hope that other engineers, as they build on these discoveries, will apply them in ways that will help make the world a better place.

The industrial applications of pop-up books.
Anders9009 lol, good point
Literrally
Industrial revolution was the same for two thousand years old greek steam toy. And?
And expensive popup greeting cards.
exactly what I was thinking. I figured we had gotten to this step hundreds of years ago.
sounds like these guys finally saw iron man 1 and got super hyped
More like some rich guy watched Iron Man and payed them to invent it and they are still working on it.
Just wait untill they discover that Tony has a suit made of nanobots Lol, human science in steroids
🤣
Sounds like me when i tried to build an iron man suit with cardboard
Let’s hope they will watch Avengers Infinity War soon !
Kid from the future gonna make joke like this:
2019: We gonna have iron man suit.
2040: foldable spoon.
2035 after a foldable spoon breaks and injures a random kid: this aged well
@@MrFram or if a mentally unstable person uses a weapon hidden within one to injure someone politically convenient for the media to blow up
I have a foldable plastic fork. Does that count lol. From pasta salad container years ago.
There's actually are foldable spoons on instant ramen
We already have foldable spoon (spork to be exact) in Indonesia
I love their genuine excitement for old technology. Its like watching a baby discover their feet.
Yup
_old Japanese man folding origami watches the development......_
_laughs in Japanese_
Hi
origami was designed to preserve this knowledge from the last cycle...
Exactley.
Exactly
lol but not that hard
we also still on research
How many times is science going to "discover" origami?
I don't see your point
Probably every time origami can be applied to a new material for the first time.
'As many times as it takes' would be the obvious answer, I think..
These are people, not "science".
And it's not about rediscovering, it's about finding the right way and the right process and the right materials to apply concepts.
Just because you know how to use a log to roll something heavy down a hill doesn't mean that you essentially invented an F1 wheel.
1.This is not science, this is engineering.
2. It is not being discovered, but utilised.
This will revolutionize the "pop-up" children's books industry.
wow this is a very original comment i applaud you 100%
@TaterGaber Couldn't agree more 😂😎
Im suprised thats what you thought off while they were showing all the innovative futuristic possibilities for these devices 😂👌
When I was 9 I had a rc car with tires that did this... as soon as it hit an obstacle, the tires morphed into climbing paddles

“This may be a rocket, or a missile, and have this fairly complex...” *squeak
Is that the guy that was on veritasium ?
Yes he was
yes, Larry Howell
Yup, he's the one that popularize compliant mechanism nowadays.
It's confirmed guys, Iron man's suit is made of compliant mechanisms.
Yes
0:11 I just saw him yesterday in one of veritasium's videos showing his soft machines
me too, kinda freaky
"his" soft machines... i saw that video too - he was saying he INVENTED some of those mechanisms because he 3D printed mechanisms that existed, even at the microscopic level. talent and knowledge are real, lying about your accomplishments? that's awful.
Nilaksh Singh RUclips’s algorithm still working lol
Me to he is really cool!
Compliant mechanisms
It would be so cool if they could use this in books and have the pictures pop up from the books!

my name is lego optimus prime and this is a message to all other bits
That's what it reminded me of too
It honestly surprises me that this is something new to engineering xD
It's not. It is just the first time they are considering it for enginering. This has been in cabinet making for a long long time.
It's not lol
These really aren't, they just weren't that useful, so few were patented. In a lot of ways, Bionicles and origami have kind of used these the most.
It's not, it's just new to *these* engineers.
it's not, this kind of thing has existed since the 90s and probably long before that. This is just research done by this specific university
The technology of pop-up books.
Glad to see I'm not the only one who thought this.
failed to see the breakthrough.
constantinos schinas go buy yourself some neurons
right
All 3D-printed, although not new, this can be used to create complex tools. As always learned from from tools developed by evolution.
2:11
constantinos schinas well they are trying
looks like the experts finally caught up to my level of lego mechanisms from when i was a kid
One of this dude went on holidays and saw these 3d foldable postcards. Came back to the office: "guys!"
Have seen a bunch of stuff from these guys- this video seems to represent the folding / origami style for visual demonstration purposes as most people have seen a pop up book or origami in the past. I believe they intend to use the folding method for nano construction of electronic components. (perhaps too advanced for the intended audience?)
I believe - with 3D printing technology , folks will begin to think differently about how to manufacture and examples like this will begin to overtake traditional forms of engineering. For myself - that hardest thing to overcome when designing for 3D printing is resource management.
for instance: do you want to spend 10 hours designing a part that is optimized for printing time, material usage and overall integrity. - that triangle of 'Good' - 'fast' - 'cheep'
It would most likely be a revolution/renaissance through the Mind,body, Spirit. We wouldn’t necessarily depend as consumers but creative consumers.. if everyone just printed their own things. In a way probably causing us to care more about resources and not be such gluttons about them maybe
Interesting but how did I get here?
By clicking on it or staying on the video and autoplay.
Lol
RUclips recommendations algorithm!
If you also follow veratasium then that why I guess.
because of the RUclips algorithm
How did she get there?
So, hinges? heard about emm
Lots of these don't use hinges, or use them sparingly.
From what I understand it's a tube that can hide another tube. Or maybe hides two tubes.
Actually, some of these joints are gliding joints. So. . .
I think you didn't get it
That's kinda the main point to the benefits of their designs, no hinges or ball bearings means less moving parts, making it stronger and more durable. The origami stuff just packs small and saves space and weight.
Man, they look mesmerizing to look at. I want one of these.
This is the kind of “discovery” that will inevitably lead into the long time development technology SOLELY for getting rid of the squeak and strengthening of the folding mechanisms rather than the whole functionality.
And from where we are standing, we are still there.
Dunno what the hype is... some resemble technology found in pop up books... "Oh we figured out how to use hinges and folding"
Yeah, that's all it is. Go play Fortnite.
The impressive part isn't just the technology but the new use for it. It's like saying "Rockets? Pfft. We'd had combustion engines for years before them."
Everything's gotta start somewhere. From the world's first light bulb to the very screen you're typing on now for example.
Matthew T that’s exactly what innovation is: seeing something in an area and figuring a way to apply it to another. Some times this process is more obvious than others, but it’s always about connecting ideas.
We as humans give credit to the first people who do something so that we promote other people to be the first in other things
I think the video was focusing on more rounded shapes and more complicated/yet practical applications. I before I've only seen basic square "orgami" like machines, which is good for some applications, but this new design on the old process opened up a whole new world of applications because now we can fold in different, more compact mechanisms. BTW I'm just basing this whole thing off my prior knowledge of this type of science, I'm by no means an expert, just interested
Umbrella 2.0.
Tyrant now has hinges.
Iron man: “am i a joke to you?”
Transformers toy designers
“ am I a joke to you?”
I love how they’re acting like this is some amazing technological breakthrough when my plastic toys did even more complex things when I was 5...
This has practical applications
except I doubt you made them in a tiny scale for surgeries or a large scale for space. or made them with motors that can reliably control everything from a remote distance(however that, i admit its plausible), i doubt you built them with real world applications that are useful.
just because a thing is simple and been around for a long time, doesn't mean applying them to science or engineering in any way can't be an innovative, clever and helpful discovery. it works! give them credit for thinking of it.
Could you imagine these being used in conjunction with programmable magnets!?
Nice
Like a magnet that you can turn on and off?
@@elmergloo3259 So electromagnet?
@@emperorfaiz not the only way but yeah
@@elmergloo3259 Nope, but they can be made for that. There is now a way to selectively magnetize stuff so it has anywhere from 1 to 100+ magnetic poles of either positive or negative variant. Look up "Smarter Every Day Programmable Magnets" on here and you'll see what op means
For use in space, totally agree. For use in surgery, I'm sceptical you could keep everything from pinching/jamming/infecting tissue in any situation where it would be operated internally.
Several of those would make really effective wall anchors. They could also potentially be used to limit the range or penetration of a projectile.
I thought he is talking about nano-technology..
Lol same
Transformers, they are already among us
I know other people have mentioned this but this is basically pop-up book mechanics! 😅
Rich Brownings Jetsuit + this = Iron Man
Quick Maths
not really becouse this needs to be able to house the components of his suit and, well, he already made it as compact as possible next step will be just using smaller jets that have the same power (or more) as the ones he has which doesn't have any thing to do with this video that hyped origami way too much.
not to mention that adding missiles like iron man will make it even bigger.
if any thing, the thing that will help Rich is nono-tech.
sorry for rumbling so much, I know you made a joke.
One thing this video lacks is the words “deploy,” “deployed,” and “complex.”
I saw something similar applied to solar panels, it was very interesting. It was an origami solar panel made of carbon fiber and conceived to be easily carried around. Levante should be the name of the startup
These guys were 3 years old when their parents read pop-up books to them.
It's more like they just got introduced to those books.
I remember reading those books that pop up and you pull a tab or flip a panel. This is definitely next level stuff here that's for sure.
1:32 he remembers "the animal" toy truck which had tiger paws come out.
2:26
looks just like a book opening and closing to me
Or a door xD
That wheel for a rover is amazing. Quite literally reinventing the wheel.
lol Nope....they had this 30 or so years ago. Look up "The animal" toy truck commercial.
Geez BYU really? Did ya’ll not play with toys in the 80’s?
@@jjjsmith2497 well atleast there's an idea to implement it to a real thing instead of just toys
...and dont forget The Claw:

...apparently lots of Galoob fans ended up going to BYU 🧐
Some researchers in Korea implemented that wheel design (passive transformable wheel) on a robot a few years ago, it's pretty cool: ruclips.net/video/syUfxj4OYi8/видео.html
RUclips decided to put this in my recommended list, to show me hinges and a few things they haven’t got a uses for. My life is now complete.
This is amazing, his work on compliant mechanisms is great too
Love this, as a mechanical engineer one all ways want to include more functions but less parts and this shows a lot of potential
Cro-magnons: "oh my god, it's just origami"
....applied to science and engineering in new and innovative ways. Before that it was just pretty paper shapes, now it may wind up in everything from surgery to outer space. You're sound like the protoboomers in the 60s and 70s going, "... com-pyu-ter? It's just a typewriter you have to plug in!"
Cro-magnons were smarter than them don't insult them like that XD
Also yeah that's exactly what they are, proto-boomers of the modern day
That drone is dope!
Name a better duo than art and science
I’ll wait
I love how all of this is 3d printed. wish I was smart enough to understand all this. makes me wanna study engineering but I always wanted to study computer science 🤔
Looks very interesting. Especially i like drone design
The egg drone idea looks interesting also... Plus its a real product you can buy today.
I've been doing this for years, never thought it would catch on in my time. Live and learn i guess.
Great to see Bakugan finally making a comeback!
whos that
I'm still trying to wrap my mind around how some of these mechanisms work. Very cool 😎
Your 3D animations are way cooler!
the promotional team will be at your desk in 10 minutes. think of something to say about these 3d printed folding things. "maybe it's smaller and it's for surgery, maybe it's a wheel on mars?" come on, real problems are specific and carry with them the constraints of the end use. Dreaming is good, but task-force promoted dreaming is kind of silly.
Many times in history discoveries have been made before there was use for them. Did it mean they were made in vain? Were they wasted? Most of the time, no. Do you see the fault in your logic?
What do you mean?
Of course, advertisements would emphasise on the more impressive functions a product have.
Rationalising with them, it is indeed difficult to cover every function it has. There's always the time where they industrialise and put out ideas that fit in our daily lives. So for now as they are still developing and trying out new things, this is somewhat appropriate as a insightful glance into the future prospects. If done well, the next advertisements should be for their more commonly used products in daily lives. ( Do correct me if I interpreted you wrongly )
I meam obviosly the mars rover one was to show onr application of the crawl wheel.
1:35 when Landmine gets his cyber key power
I study Product design and this video has just given me a multitude of ideas !! Thank you everyone.
Keep smashing your day !! Be productive !!
I'm sorry but this is nowhere near the technology used in the Iron Man suit...
You think iorn man suit actually exist?
Brock Peterson I would like a deployable cup holder on my ak47
im sorry ofcourse it didnt u dumdum, if theres things like iron man suit we'd already have flying cars flyin around.

Right you'd have to hollow out your forearms to fit the rockets.
Isn't this stuff already around since... A lot of time?
I've been looking for this subject on RUclips for like 4 years.
1:21, I've been doing that with Lego for years lmao
That’s a great way to use materials. I would love to work on the same.
I feel like I’ve seen these before... oh yeah, my daughters pop up book.
Love how the last two used lego pins to turn
And so art imitates life, imitates art.... love it

Hello Jacob, I have a CS background and have interest in designing foldable structures. Any books or turorials you could recommend me?
That drone idea is pretty cool
One of those was the early dev of a origami ballistics shield that some special forces will be deploying, fun fact.
Cool... Get them perfected, mass produced, and distributed ASAP. The future is now, so they say.
Fortified Mentality no, the future is tomorrow. Now is the present. And also the future of yesterday’s gone by.

...do you think we can paint them gold and call them a Snitch?
That solar panel unfold was dope
It's interesting seeing the comments on this video and knowing they would be drastically different if uploaded by pretty much anyone else
Scientist: this is a revolution.
Origami: Am I a joke to you?
I love this type of video
You too, huh!?
TSA agent walks into the room to perform a cavity search. The victim sighs with relief as they notice the TSA agent only holds a pen. As the TSA agent locks the door, they put the pen on the floor and it expands into something like a vacuum cleaner. Yay for technology!
Wow - it's like amazing pop-up children's books just like iron man! What a spin!
getting closer to 4th Dimensions
Wow that was something
Love how they're not hiding the "WE WANT IRON MAN TECH" part
I love how he barely tried to rationalize the thing coming off of the rocket
Big things come from small ideas, never discredit people for thinking of small ideas it only show your lack of any ideas at all.
That’s exactly what I wanted to say
If this is a small idea, it shouldn't be advertised as something like "ironman suit". It's obvious click-bait.
Big things come from big ideas too, though. But I will admit, I'm struggling with weighing ideas. Maybe that is what people mean when they ask "what's the big idea?". But more on topic, none of what you said is definitely true. Big things dont only come from small ideas and you dont have to not have ideas to dislike small ideas, though, as I said before, I'm having trouble weighing ideas.
Yeah, true statement, but this is a student recruiting video aimed at highschool engineering hopefuls. They hear 'Ironman' and 'revolutionary' and when the student sees a mechanism similar to something they have thought of or made or whatever, they think they will be a great fit there in their School of Engineering.
BYU is an interesting and very unique college for several reasons and some of their programs are incredibly forward thinking, but this is really nothing more than a recruiting video trying to get young highschoolers interested in going to BYU. They aren't doing anything really forward thinking or groundbreaking with anything they have shown.
Pop up Books with wires lights and mirrors.
So these mechanisms can help make a iron man suit more compact but still hold many features. This is very interesting.
No one would have clicked the video without Iron Man's suit in the title..

I'm really interested in the drone applications. That was awesome.
You see drones everywhere but none of them really 'fold up' unless its a Mavic and those are really expensive.
none? amazon dude. there's like hundreds.
Yeah, i thought they were cool too, but I kinda dread the day everyone has a drone in their pocket.

Out of all their videos this one has the highest views. People don't care about their inventions. They see IronMan, they click.
Well isn't this inspired by pop up books😂😂
This is really cool you're on your way to programmable matter
This is sarcasm right? If not .... uh... um... this is just hinges and origami and isn't impressive as it's been around for ages including kids toys NO ESPECIALLY IN KIDS TOYS!
@@joelcrafter43 oh dear, I was trying to be encouraging 😬. I'd feel terrible if they took it as sarcasm. You're not wrong though things like this have definitely existed for a while but it's neat to see the execution and application of the idea in new ways. That being said something more involved than this. Such as transformation of an object, via a swarm of nano sized components, that make up the object itself, Is going to be very interesting when it reaches a much more mature state of being.
the ironman still inspire our growing up technology, pretty awesome
Wow! They discovered efficient folding!
"Developable" doesn't sound accurate. More like "deployable" or "expandable." Transformational?
Sold Future I think they’re talking about an visual on screen can actually be developed into a real prototype.
I could see things like this being used for the next I.N.S.S.
We can build a bigger space station
Or origami
Actually a more compact one. I hope they use this stuff on the inside too to make it more roomy, last one's personal spaces were far too crammed for my taste
International is one word. I.S.S
what does the "N" stand for in your "I.N.S.S." ?
really cool! i hope to see more in the future :)

If I'm being brutally honest, I'm not all that impressed. If you can motorize it and make a practical version of something, then it's a different story. But so far, it's been done before, albeit a different design, but nonetheless. In its current form, this doesn't seem all that revolutionary. But that's not to say it couldn't be.
This is actually sick, deployable stuff is always cool to me. I hope that we can find a strong enough material for these smol bois tho
Ah, look who finally discovered origami
