(A), Solenoid-like actuator made from multifunctional electro-origami design. High voltage (9 kV) causes linear contraction. (B), Adaptive gripper made from the same multifunctional electro-origami design. High voltage (8 kV) causes gripping, with electro-adhesive forces also improving grip strength. (C), Ciliate motion generated by device made from same multifunctional electro-origami design. Sequential charging of electrodes (8 kV) causes beam movement. (D), Locomotion robot made from same multifunctional electro-origami design. Sequential charging of electrodes (10 kV) in one direction moves the robot to the right. Reversing the direction of the sequence moves the robot to the left.
