title = "OrigamiBoat: An Application of Thick Rigid Flat-Folding Origami to Portable Watercraft",
abstract = "In this paper, we present an application of rigid flat-folding origami in which a portable boat is developed from a symmetric, four-vertex origami pattern. The flat-folding conditions are laid out, and a simplified construction is identified through reduction of panels which remain adjacent in the open and flat-folded configurations. Additional compactness is achieved through identifying symmetries similar to a recursive application of Kawasaki{\textquoteright}s theorem. The boat is prototyped to demonstrate proof of concept, and merits of an alternate design are compared.",
