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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
If the new nano-machines built at The Ohio State University look familiar, it's because they were designed with full-size mechanical parts such as hinges and pistons in mind. The project is the first ...
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 ...
When Carlos Castro and Haijun Su started working as assistant professors in the engineering department at Ohio State, they didn’t know that just a few years later, they would be creating what some are ...
A real-life Transformer has been created by scientists inspired by the Japanese paper-folding art of origami. In tests, the small shape-changing robot folded itself into a functional machine that ...
In tests, the small shape- changing robot folded itself into a functional machine that could walk and turn without human help. But unlike Transformers toys — robots that disguise themselves as cars ...
A newly designed "transformer" robot with the ability to change shape could one day be used to build habitats in space. Engineers from North Carolina State University (NC State) have created a plastic ...
