“…The principles of origami, such as foldability, lightweight construction, and deployability, are highly desirable in aerospace applications where weight reduction and efficient storage are critical. Origami-inspired structures have been used to design solar panels [178], inflatable booms [11], antennas [179], solar sails [180], and UAV landing gears [121]. These structures allow for compact packaging during transport and easy deployment in space, reducing launch costs and maximizing mission capabilities.…”

Structures inspired by the Kresling origami pattern have recently emerged as a foundation for building functional engineeringsystems with versatile characteristics that target niche applications spanning different technological fields. Their light weight,deployability, modularity, and customizability are a few of the key characteristics that continue to drive their implementationin robotics, aerospace structures, metamaterial and sensor design, switching, actuation, energy harvesting and absorption,and wireless communications, among many other examples. This work aims to perform a systematic review of the literatureto assess the potential of the Kresling origami springs as a structural component for engineering design keeping threeobjectives in mind: i) facilitating future research by summarizing and categorizing the current literature, ii) identifying the currentshortcomings and voids, and iii) proposing directions for future research to fill those voids.
