Abstract
Origami patterns have previously been investigated for novel mechanical properties and applications to soft and deployable robotics. This work models and characterizes the mechanical and electrical properties of origami-patterned capacitive strain sensors. Miura-patterned capacitors with different fold angles are fabricated with a silicone body and foil electrodes. The planar strain sensitivity ratio is tunable from 0.2 to 0.5 with fold angles, while all-soft patterns demonstrate low mechanical tunability through fold angle. We conclude by offering recommendations for designing and modeling future origami-patterned soft material sensors.
