COrigami: An AI Pipeline for Co-Designing Flat-Foldable Visually Recognisable Origami
Researchers have developed COrigami, an AI pipeline for co-designing flat-foldable visually recognizable origami. The pipeline generates crease patterns from natural language and involves multiple steps, including generating a semantic stick figure and refining the generated model using reinforcement learning. This work demonstrates how AI systems can satisfy multi-objective physical constraints to enable reliable, mathematically grounded co-creativity.
- ▪COrigami is an end-to-end AI-driven pipeline that assists the design cycle by generating crease patterns from natural language.
- ▪The pipeline involves generating a semantic stick figure, computing a base packing, solving for a flat-foldable crease pattern, shaping the flat-folded crease pattern, and refining the generated model using reinforcement learning.
- ▪The system acts as a highly effective collaborative assistant, generating structural starting points that human artists can further expand and shape.
