UCLA researchers have come up with a method to create foldable origami robots that can evaluate and respond to their environment. Previously, roboticists mainly made only the bodies of these robots by ...

The 1.2 g PLioBot robot features an innovative origami design, integrating actuators for high-speed, multi-environment ...

Cynthia Sung, head of the Sung Robotics Lab within Penn’s GRASP Lab, is especially interested in getting high school students into engineering. Self-folding origami robots, anyone? Cynthia Sung.

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. A team of UCLA researchers has designed a new way to integrate ...

A research by Harbin Institute of Technology states that DNA robots are emerging as a ground-breaking technological ...

Origami isn’t just art anymore. A team of researchers at North Carolina State University has developed a new 3D printing technique that gives origami robots a life of their own, thanks to paper-thin ...

A crawler robot made with the miura-ori origami pattern. The dark sections are affixed with thin "magnetic muscles" made by co-extruding rubber polymer and ferromagnetic particles, which move the ...

A multidisciplinary team has created a new fabrication technique for fully foldable robots that can perform a variety of complex tasks without relying on semiconductors. Roboticists have been using a ...

These could be the stuff of nightmares — if they weren’t so damn cute. Scientists at the University of Washington have developed adorable little electronic “microfliers,” the size of a postage stamp, ...

The combined mental prowess of Harvard University and MIT has yielded a special kind of self-assembling robot that folds up like origami and crawls away. The prototype, which is built almost entirely ...
