Popis:	Origami-inspired mechanisms have a variety of potential applications but present many challenges in their design. Problems such as mechanism inflexibility must be considered for any application but may not always be easily resolvable. One option in such a case would be to rely on the inherent flexibility of the origami panels to permit motion. This paper presents a method for increasing the flexibility of a structure and enabling motion in an otherwise immobile origami-inspired mechanism. This method will be derived analytically and then verified through finite-element analysis and experiments.
