Origami robots may be the next great revolution in automated technology. Starting from a flat plane, the tiny robot can fold itself into a three-dimensional form, and start traveling in less than five ...

An origami-inspired robot that self-assembles and then scuttles away under its own power has been revealed by researchers from Harvard University and MIT. Still in the experimental stage, the ...

Researchers have created a new breed of origami robot that folds itself into shape from a flat sheet of material — and could open the way for a robot-building revolution similar to the current 3-D ...

Inspired by the paper-folding art of origami, engineers have discovered a way to make a single plastic cubed structure transform into more than 1,000 configurations using only three active motors.

Inspired by the paper-folding art of origami, North Carolina State University engineers have discovered a way to make a single plastic cubed structure transform into more than 1,000 configurations ...
