But upon closer consideration there are a lot of reasons methods developed for paper folding are also applicable to engineering: origami allows you to take a flat sheet of material and convert it to almost any shape only by folding. Plus for large flat structures, origami provides a way of shrinking dimensions while ensuring simply deployment - this is particularly useful for solar arrays in space applications. Furthermore, motions designed to take advantage of the flexibility of paper can also be used to form compliant mechanisms for engineering like the kaleidocycle. Since the principles of origami are scalable, mechanisms can also be dramatically miniaturized.

When you want to be a artist but your parents want you to be an engineer
@Wombat you're making it complicated
as a child i was skilled with origami, my parents wanted me to be an engineer, as an adult i grow weed.
and we end up working in an IT company.. attending calls.....
Engineering can be full of art. Please do not go after the stereotype of art, go after the soul of art which is creation and creativity itself.
You don't need to be disappointed by picking engineering.
Engineering can be full of art.
You can be an artist anywhere anytime. Life is long enough for that.
@Aditi Saini nah shut up idiot, u obvs have no idea how the real world works. ur clearly a sheltered privileged tosser
Talk about smart people on earth. It is so pleasing and satisfying to watch. Thank you, I am so sharing it.
Where else would they be?
@Ahn Rho, Human CPU processor search up Origami flasher Big Bang by Jeremy Shafer
@OrigamiNoob103
I certainly will be. Thank heavens for YouTube algorithms because I would never have purposely searched for it.
My attention was subdued immediately. Thanks.
Like kardashians video right? They are smart too.
@Aby no
"Hm." My man's about to grow a huge nose and start trading emeralds.
such an original and funny comment
@W1ther lol
@W1ther you too
@Unreal pigz gaming lol
was gonna play MC after this video lol
Me : *doing art to escape from math
Dr. Robert : origami is a math
Me : *oh crap
asians: Reorado Dikapurio fesu
Hahaha Math is omnipresent. Btw I'm surprised that a art major is watching Veritasium.
Math is universal, it's the key to everything.
@Prithish S Yt recommendation are pretty random sometimes
"I made an origami cactus"
"What did it cost?"
"Everything"
Jakob man, what are you talking about, we’re talking about origami
At least, your family life.
Daddy is only gone, to fold his cactus or fiddles with his little Violinist
@David Adams wooosh
@smelly eggs
😴
"what did it cost"
"a whole meter square piece of paper"
I envy clever people who found their path. They sure offered the humanity something
@Alsadek Alkhayer The same to you friend.
An unexpectedly wholesome and positive ending. Well done!
@Aiden Lee ☺️ we're grown-ups, I believe that should be the norm of any conversation
@Alsadek Alkhayer I am imagining the other individual fancies that they are the thought police! I'm sure troll farms will have a good crop this year (sad but true)
Then you think about NASA, who have landed rovers on Mars and planning to make a space pit stop on the moon by 2024
I misplaced Dwayne Johnson’s cutting tool for the origami workshop...
I can’t believe I lost the Rock’s Paper Scissors...
Kirigami - Paper Cutting
"Hm." My man's about to grow a huge nose and start trading emeralds.
Smooth
nice
Dad? Is that you?
I went into surgery using the Da Vinci device for my kidneys about 6 months ago and where I would’ve had a long cut from my stomach all the way to the back of my kidney, I know have 3 tiny incisions on my stomach. It is barely noticeable and I’m glad these types of surgeries and robots are improving!
Bet they're expensive.
How much did you pay?
Shiva Cruz roughly $6000
DavyJones yea, they are pretty expensive
“We were working with the people who did the DaVinci surgical robot...”

@Kārlis Kalvāns don’t push it
I love it when science look back at traditional low tech methods. Sometimes we are too obsessed with new and complex technology when a simpler solution is right in front of us for centuries.
Often the method chosen is driven by other factors and priorities that tend to force a new and complex technology to be chosen over a simpler solution. Similar to the story of U.S.'s expensive NASA R&D effort to develop a pen that works in zero gravity for astronauts to use while in space. The Soviet solution was to have astronauts use a pencil.
Warren Hall the story for that was debunked. Of course NASA has used pencil. But the reason why they poured so much money into the invention/ development of a “space pen” - was because pencil were made of graphites, and prone to breaking off. A tiny sliver of graphite can cause major explosion, especially in an airtight space-craft. This was why there’s a need for a pen that can work in any environment and not create harm.
Hence, don’t take any story at face value before learning the full reason why behind it.
I understand your sentiment, but hen you think about it these methods are neither traditional nor low tech. The materials and concept are simple, but the application and design are quite complex. Granted, there's nothing being done here that couldn't have been done by a traditional Japanese origami artist given enough time and paper, but there was simply no incentive for them to do so because the machinery they would have been designing this for did not exist, and many of the items being fabricated here are being built based on principles of folding and mechanics that weren't discovered until someone actually did research into them. They even demonstrated that many designs were based on variations of fundamental folding patterns that, on their own, wouldn't have produced anything of immediate artistic merit, which would have discouraged a traditional artisan from exploring them further. It took industrial need and industrial resources in order for these ideas to finally be implemented.
EDIT: Case in point at 12:06... that seems pretty high-tech to me.
Low tech ~= optimised. Optimised is far from simple
Most designs were developped the last century they said in the beginning
Plot twist: He was wearing an origami T-shirt made of paper
Hmm!
Robert Lang absolutely blew me away. His brevity was intense. This guy should be teaching, teaching anything. I never had any high school teacher or university professor even half as engaging as this guy. Just amazing
Hmm
Clive W 😂😂😂
Who
I really want an elliptical infinity lamp... they aren't sold anywhere I looked.
Edit: Nevermind! Just search 'origami table lamp' instead of its actual name! The internet is perplexing.
You could print it out as well maybe
"I made this cactus from one sheet of paper in 7 years."
"Hm."
"This design saved a freight company millions of dollars."
"Hm."
"Look at this violin guy wiggle his arm."
"Fantastic!"
@Inexpressable your name intrigues me
@Rakib Amin a misspelling of Shpongle's album title 'Tales of the Inexpressible'. somehow the way I spelt it seems more correct, as you would say you aren't able to express something, inexpress-able
@Shadow God its called a meme
@Dont Mansion its innoventional cous it is help open more possibilities to technology
Yes.. I too was wondering about this.. hm.
Watching this just reminds me, how many really smart people doing their thing without even us being aware........
"and this is a light assembled wormhole origami"
"hmm..."
bRuH
Anyone: *says anything that's incredibly astounding*
Veritasium: "Hmm..."
This is how they gonna make Optimus prime
Is no one going to talk about how absolutely mind-blowing the cactus origami is
Take this comment as a like, didn't want to to destroy the 1111 likes you currently have :D
Hmm
@frenchiveruti It's a prickly subject!
Simon Tay fun fact, it took 7 years to design it, but as of now people have folded it in 1 month or less
Hmm!
No one:
This guy whenever they explain something to him: "hm"
Folding paper virtually into any shape....
Hmmm..time to fold me a girlfriend...
You'll need a Large Sheet, of Very Interesting Material!
😁🤭
I'm just imagining that one day I'll be able to, in a fit of rage, unfold someone's entire house.
I'm Level 0: The only paper I fold is toilet paper before I wipe my butt...
And some people can't even do that
@Laundry Lurker which means im level 1-
@Xytrha yes lol
I've never wanted to touch a cactus more.
Me too
@Ethan Moore ain't that the same guy from FLEXIBLE NON COMPLIANT DEVICE? 6:56
Steve Thea indeed it is.
@James Flanagan who lit toph on fire?
Cant relate
Everyone in the comments: "He KeEpS SaYiNg HMMMM"
Me: "ummm... microscopic origami bird?"
iNtErstInG
"How long did that take to make"
me: a year
Him: "That took me seven years to make"
me: christ almighty
Hmm!
"Mmmmmm~ "
- When my brain can't process what i am seeing.
8:45
Everyone eating: "MOM I'M THROWING UP!"
Me: ". . . huh."
“7 years” as he puts it back in its box
William Shakespeare it’s ok bro I will sound ridiculous for you
@Roger Stewart
Uh oh baby dropped his pacifier.
@Roger Stewart if he had fun while making it (which he probably did have) its not a waste of time
I use a bag
@Roger Stewart you sound like a frustrated midget that never on his life would come to something like the origami cactus
Us: “are you an engineer a doctor or a scientist?”
Veritasium:”yes”
11:15 is where it starts to get interesting to me.
soooo Transformers are just origami, and they could actually exist "Mind Blown!!!!"
"That took seven years from start to finish"
-can we see if it floats?! Please!
Samsung Fold engineers: 'Write that down, write that down!'
its 2020 and samsung created origami phone lol
Samsung needs it definitely 👍
Also a Charles the French reference!?
@Asian Support r/wooosh
@Asian Support but samsung use sony camera sensor on some of the Samsung galaxy phone and sony in the past use samsung panel for sony bravia tv
Me, just beat paper mario TOK 100% now watching this video: mmm, yes, folding.
The nebulous flight increasingly brush because priest hisologically print an a curved diploma. troubled, maddening statistic
"9:50"
Nanomachines Son
Bulletproof wall exists
Veritasium: "pew pew"
"Hmmm" - Veritasium. 2019

@Yuppy Guppy Lmao, probably because no one takes you science rejecting morons seriously.
@Yuppy Guppy I don't really give two shits about these guys or space. I just think your a moron for believing the Earth is flat.
i believe it's more like "huhh" than "hmmm"
@Yuppy Guppy didn't flat earthers are that people who want to believe in god and hate science because it denies it.....
The resolute december immuhistochemically consist because trigonometry methodologically spot beside a common offence. silly, magical shoemaker
そういや最近折り紙折ってないなぁ
"I made this cactus from one sheet of paper in 7 years."
"Hm."
"This design saved a freight company millions of dollars."
"Hm."
"Look at this violin guy wiggle his arm."
"Fantastic!"
6:31 "... Increasing compactness for lunch... "
Guy: I made an origami human
Veritasium: hmm
Pygmalion
Veritasium: Wait is his playing a violin? WHOA!
Hmm
10:40 Reminds me of something.... I think it start's with a "V"... Ah, yes, Voyager!
Me: "a boat...... I can make, a boat"
“They’re the company with the Da Vinci surgical robot”
Me: remembers Michael reeves video
And from now on origami will be on tests and renamed “Math” 😅🤣🤔
"You can't make a compliant mechanism that rotates 360 degrees"
"Unfortunately, no one told the paper folders that"
Best comment!
fortunately you mean.
@Michael walsh hmmmmmm :/
@josh brock the idea is to use the least amount of pieces while doing the same job, you might want to look at the other video about compliant mechanisms
Fortunately
