Abstract : This paper proposes a new type of origami inspired modular crawling robot that can be used for search and exploration purposes. Origami is an art of paper folding where a 2D sheet of material is folded into a 3D robotic structure. The origami inspired design introduces a low cost manufacturing technique and hence reducing the overall cost of the robot. This robot also has characteristics of modular robots. These robots can be connected, disconnected and re-connected to obtain different configurations. The prototype of the robot is manufactured and two types of crawling locomotion are implemented. Various test cases were created and tested under laboratory conditions. The robot was also tested to validate the characteristics of origami robots, modular robots and crawling locomotion is also implemented in unstructured environment. The first section in your paper
