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 ...

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 ...

(Nanowerk News) Roboticists have been using a technique similar to the ancient art of paper folding to develop autonomous machines out of thin, flexible sheets. These lightweight robots are simpler ...

South Korean engineers are stress testing a new kind of lunar robot that is designed to survive the Moon’s most hostile terrain, from jagged crater rims to the sheer walls of underground pits. At the ...

Most people can fold a piece of paper by the time they're in kindergarten, but it's not child's play for a robot, which must use complex mathematical formulas to accomplish the task. That's why ...

In experiments involving a simulation of the human esophagus and stomach, researchers at MIT, the University of Sheffield, and the Tokyo Institute of Technology have demonstrated a tiny origami robot ...
