The topic mentioned as a way to help readers relate to the ideas in this paragraph is smartphones. The reference to smartphones provides a familiar and everyday element that many readers can easily connect with, making the complex ideas of robotics and origami more accessible.
Reread this excerpt from "Fold Here: Scientific Uses for an Ancient Art Form." As you read, think about how the writer tried to incorporate normal, everyday elements into this science article.
Another study that combines origami and robotics is led by Daniela Rus, head of the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) at MIT. Her team is focused on designing robots that can be constructed and programmed more quickly and easily--and then used by professionals and amateurs alike. Where does origami fit in? The machines are delivered by 2-D printers and would be preprogrammed to fold themselves into 3-D shapes that can be manipulated and controlled using a smartphone or other device.
