Deployable composite structures and mechanisms represent a frontier in materials engineering, where innovative fabrication techniques and advanced design principles are utilised to create lightweight, ...

Abstract: Modern deployable space structures have enabled spectacular missions like the James Webb Space Telescope, but they are constrained by fairing size and by a tradeoff between deployed size and ...

When people are dropped into the most dangerous of conditions – as when disaster strikes, or during exploration of another planet – they generally have the highest number of needs and the lowest ...

The field of robotics has transformed drastically in this century, with a special focus on soft robotics. In this context, origami-inspired deployable structures with compact storage and efficient ...

MIT researchers have developed a new method for designing 3D structures that can be transformed from a flat configuration into their curved, fully formed shape with only a single pull of a string.

Rivian could add a deployable roof-top canopy to the list of accessories for its EVs, if a recent patent filing is any indication. The automaker filed a patent application titled "Canopy with ...

Abstract: Lightweight materials and structures are essential in the aerospace industry, from enabling the large space structures required to advance science missions to reducing fuel consumption.

Starsys Inc., a SpaceDev Company has been awarded two contracts totaling $2.45 million from the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) Space Vehicles Directorate, for continued development of deployable ...
