Origami-inspired structures that fold flat sheets along creases with designed patterns to create transformable structures have been widely applied in science and engineering, especially in space operations, e.g., for deployment of folded solar panels equipped on launched satellites. Although the deformation process plays an essential role in transitions between the origami states, few studies focus on the control and actuation of the origami folding mechanism toward high autonomy of the deformation process. This project aims to develop an autonomous origami-inspired transformable system to enable high-performance deformation maneuvering in space operations requiring frequent and/or time-responsive shape changes. The integrative research incorporating theory, analysis, algorithm development, and experimental verification will contribute to a theoretical and experimental platform to advance the autonomy of origami system operations in challenging environments. The research products will have significant impacts on the proliferated satellite marketplace where low mass, small volume, and adaptable structures/subsystems of space vehicles are in demand. Going beyond the applications in space missions, origami-inspired transformable systems have much broader applications in science and engineering. Moreover, the collaboration of experts in both cyber and physical areas promotes the creation of interdisciplinary products that bridge different disciplines.To achieve the research goal of advancing autonomy of origami-inspired transformable systems, four research thrusts are identified, namely (1) developing a network-based approach for modeling and design of multi-shape origami structures, (2) designing an integrated sensing and control strategy with guaranteed controllability, reachability, and energy efficiency, (3) developing programmable untethered actuation via thermal loading to realize designed control maneuvers, and (4) evaluating the performance of autonomous systems using multiple origami structures in space operation missions. These identified research thrusts will together contribute to an analytical and computational framework for achieving autonomy of the origami deformation process, which will result in real-world applications in future space missions. Theoretically, the fundamental analysis based on networked control and graph modeling can lead to rigorous support of control performance in terms of controllability, reachability, and energy efficiency for the origami deformation process. Practically, the development of programmable untethered actuation enables the generation of designed control commands under operational constraints.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

受折纸启发的结构可以沿着具有设计图案的折痕折叠平板以创建可变形的结构，该结构已广泛应用于科学和工程领域，特别是在太空操作中，例如，用于部署发射卫星上配备的折叠太阳能电池板。尽管变形过程在折纸状态之间的转换中起着至关重要的作用，但很少有研究关注折纸折叠机制的控制和驱动，以实现变形过程的高度自主性。该项目旨在开发一种受折纸启发的自主可变形系统，以在需要频繁和/或时间响应形状变化的太空操作中实现高性能变形机动。结合理论、分析、算法开发和实验验证的综合研究将有助于建立一个理论和实验平台，以促进折纸系统在具有挑战性的环境中操作的自主性。研究产品将对激增的卫星市场产生重大影响，该市场需要低质量、小体积和适应性强的航天器结构/子系统。除了太空任务中的应用之外，受折纸启发的可变形系统在科学和工程领域也有更广泛的应用。此外，网络和物理领域专家的合作促进了连接不同学科的跨学科产品的创建。为了实现推进折纸启发的可变换系统的自主性的研究目标，确定了四个研究重点，即（1）开发基于网络的多形状折纸结构建模和设计方法，(2) 设计一种具有保证可控性、可达性和能源效率的集成传感和控制策略，(3) 通过热负载开发可编程无束缚驱动以实现设计控制（4）评估在太空作战任务中使用多个折纸结构的自主系统的性能。这些确定的研究重点将共同构建一个分析和计算框架，以实现折纸变形过程的自主性，这将在未来的太空任务中产生实际应用。理论上，基于网络控制和图建模的基础分析可以为折纸变形过程的可控性、可达性和能量效率等控制性能提供严格的支持。实际上，可编程无线驱动的开发使得能够在操作限制下生成设计的控制命令。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
