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 ...

Researchers have created a minuscule origami robot that unfolds itself from a swallowed capsule and, steered by external magnetic fields, moves across the stomach wall to remove swallowed objects or ...

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, ...

Harvard and MIT engineers, showing a reckless disregard for the robocalypse, have created origami robots that can self-assemble themselves -- from a flat piece of paper and polystyrene -- and walk ...

Researchers in the field of molecular robotics have created programmable, 3-dimensional nanoscale objects – such as a nano-dinosaur, dancing robot, and a mini-Australia – using “DNA ori g ami”. “We’ve ...
