Design and Rapid Prototyping of Deformable Rotors for Amphibious Navigation in Water and Air

This paper aims to report the design of a mechanism to drive a propeller to deform between an aerial and one aquatic shape. This mechanism can realize the deformation of blade angle, radius, blade twist angle distribution and blade section thickness. Inspired by the Kresling origami structure and ut...
