A papercraft actuation system using a laser light-based energy projection
Animated Paper is a new wireless prototyping platform that combines paper, shape memory alloy (SMA), retro-reflective material, and copper foil. This platform makes it possible to create a moving papercraft. This platform makes it possible to create moving toys out of ordinary print paper with minimal modification to the physical composition of the paper itself, facilitating simple trial-and-error modifications. We also implemented a laser control system that allows for the precise wireless motion control of the SMA-enhanced paper by tracking retro-reflective markers on the paper using a laser and photosensor.
