Robert Lang is a pioneer of the newest kind of origami -- using math and engineering principles to fold mind-blowingly intricate designs that are beautiful and, sometimes, very useful.
At 13:53 Robert Lang spells out the dilemma origami helps to solve: something has to be small when folded, and it has to be large (and shaped in a certain way) when unfolded. Examples: space lenses, a heart stent, an airbag, etc.
