    Abstract: A hybrid drive omni-directional motion actuator based on an origami structure, comprising at least one actuating module. The actuating module comprises a columnar shell deforming based on the origami structure, an upper cover plate and a lower cover plate. The columnar shell is the origami structure derived from Waterbomb crease, and a cavity containing gas is formed inside the shell. The two ends of the cavity are open, and the openings are respectively connected with the upper cover plate and the lower cover plate for blocking the openings. The lower cover plate is provided with vent holes communicating with the cavity, and the upper cover plate and the lower cover plate are pulled by driving ropes arranged in a crossed manner. Through the cooperation of gas and tendon drive, the columnar shell can have deformations of contraction, bending and torsion, so that a single actuating module has omni-directional movement capability.
