Abstract
In this chapter we consider a type of transformable structures, capable of executing large configuration changes in an autonomous way. In most cases, their configuration changes between a compact, packaged state and a large, deployed state: the transformation from the former to the latter state is called deployment. The reverse transformation is called retraction.
Based on a chapter of the forthcoming book “Structural Concepts” by K. Miura and S. Pellegrino.
