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 ...

(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 ...

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 ...

The next generation of soft robots might be folding and sliding as effortlessly as living tissue, say a team of engineers who have created “magnetic muscles” with 3D printing. Filling elastic, ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...
