ABSTRACT
We discuss a field of research concerned with the discovery and realisation of folded patterns with kinetic properties, and the design of organic experience metaphors. Since the coining of the term Oribotics in 2003, a literal conjunction of the Japanese word ORU--to fold-- and bot--a contraction of robot--this practice-based-research has delivered six successive artworks that iteratively deal with the subject of a flower that folds closed, unfolds to open. This paper will discuss the primary aesthetic function of folding and unfolding, the importance of materials, and the process of critically addressing and refining the tangible interaction over successive years and generations of Oribots. We will conclude with the advances made in the 2010 generation.

The functional aesthetic of folding
TEI '12: Proceedings of the Sixth International Conference on Tangible, Embedded and Embodied InteractionFolds are everywhere throughout nature, in our DNA, in leaves, in insect wings, in the mountain forming forces of tektonic plates. We see folds in art as ancient as origami, and in design as packaging, lighting designs and surface aesthetics. ...
Protein folding potential functions
HICSS '95: Proceedings of the 28th Hawaii International Conference on System SciencesThere has been a great deal of activity recently on approaches to the calculation of protein folding using specially devised empirical potential functions. We have developed one such function that solves the protein structure recognition problem: given ...
Multi-nucleation and vectorial folding pathways of large helix protein
Graphical abstractAt present a unified picture of how large real proteins fold is still absent. We simulated the folding of a large eight-helix-bundle protein with a length of 145 amino acids by using a united-residue protein model and observed a ...
