RUM: Reconfigurable Umbrella Mesh

Mark Pauly, Florin Isvoranu, Seiichi Eduardo Suzuki Erazo, Uday Kusupati

We propose Reconfigurable Umbrella Meshes (RUMs), a new class of preassembled deployable structures. A RUM has a compact rest state that can be easily altered to deploy into different bending-active 3D target shapes. RUMs consist of elastic beams and rigid ...
