Current unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are large in size due to fixed wings and mechanical components. 4D printing is a technology that allows shape transformation (e.g. compaction, extension) of a 3D printed object. In this research, we investigated the feasibility of using 4D printing technology...
