Origami Gripper - Does anyone know the pattern?

[some bloke]

TL;DR

I want to experiment using the origami pattern in a new "tulip gripper", but I can't work out how to fold it!

Hi everyone,

https://www.theverge.com/2019/3/14/18259883/soft-robot-origami-gripper-mit-csail-daniela-rus
I was reading about this and I would like to see if I can make one for myself, but I'm struggling to get my head around the folding pattern needed for the internal structure. Does anyone here know Origami, and can anyone point me in the direction of the pattern I should be looking for? it looks deceptively simple, but damned if I can get my head around it!

Cheers!

I just checked with Google. There are several origami forums where you might get better answers.
