CMR Students Present at the International Design Technical Conference
Several CMR students and faculty attended the International Design Technical Conference in Boston, MA on August 29. Students presented work related to several technical papers, including deployable space arrays for LIDAR telescopes, surrogate folds for origami-based design include graphite fiber hinges, origami-based design of furniture for childcare and optimized structures for origami flasher patterns. Congratulations to presenters Bethany Parkinson, Philip Klocke, Ivy Running, Katie Varela, Hunter Pruett, and Jared Hunter.

Dr. Zhong You of Oxford University Visits the CMR Lab
Our lab was fortunate enough to host Dr. Zhong You, Professor in the Department of Engineering Science of Oxford University and a Tutorial Fellow at Magdalen College. Dr. You worked with our students and gave a colloquium presentation on some of the recent projects he has been working on.

CMR Students Present at UCUR
This week, four of our students got to present at the Utah Conference of Undergraduate Research! We shared our research on adapting origami principles to improve performance of disposable incontinence products, and on designing origami-based furniture. Congratulations to Diana Bolaños, Bridget Beatson, Corinne Jackson, and Bethany Parkinson.

Veritasium features Dr. Robert Lang and the CMR's origami-based research
In a thrilling YouTube video, Veritasium shows Dr. Lang's mathematical approach to origami and explores the engineering applications of origami. The video explains how origami--especially thick origami--can give structures beneficial motions unattainable by other means. Dr. Howell shows examples of origami in engineering created by the CMR, which include an expandable catheter, a collapsible bulletproof barrier, and deployable forceps.

Veritasium explores benefits of compliant mechanisms with Dr. Larry Howell
In his YouTube video, Veritasium has an interactive interview with Dr. Howell. Veritasium invents the "8 P's of Compliant Mechanisms," which explain the benefits of compliant mechanisms over other types of mechanisms.
