Regretting my choice to do a PhD in CS instead of whatever this cool thing is…
- golem14 1y agoyour PhD probably gives you the wherewithal to do the cool things now or after a few years of work ...
- ashton314 1y agoI mean, sure, it does, but I could have had a PhD in folding pieces of paper!
- golem14 1y agoI mean, you could have BOTH!
- ahartmetz 1y ago*cutting Krigami is about folding and cutting - this looks like cutting only, though it kind of folds due to air drag
- _joel 1y agoThey also looked at using Origami with the Kirigami to see if they could pack the parachute in novel ways (according to the Nature video)
- more_corn 1y agoApplied topology and fluid dynamics + origami? Pretty sure there’s no program for this so you can just show up. Also I bet they really need people who can help with the simulations. If you email the authors you can probably get added to the team. I too love this. It’s that intersection of devilishly hard and almost useless unless you squint then it’s sci-fi magic tech. There are quite a few cases where you want the parachute to drop straight down.
- hermitcrab 1y ago>There are quite a few cases where you want the parachute to drop straight down. Model rocketry, for example. You don't want your rocket to drift miles on its chute. However this is mostly solved by 2 stage deploy (drogue deployed at apogee, then full size chute deployed near ground).
