Origami: It’s not just art anymore. Engineers are harnessing the Japanese art of paper-folding to build in smarter, more efficient ways. A team of researchers designed a self-folding robot that ...

Origami can turn a flat sheet of paper into complex 3-D shapes like birds and flowers and frogs. Scientists at Harvard University's Microrobotics Lab are taking the art of paper folding to a new ...

A team of researchers from MIT and Harvard has built the first origami-inspired robot that can fold and shuffle away by itself. According to a study published today in the journal Science, the ...

A graduate student has developed a robot that is capable of folding paper according to the rules of Japanese origami.

Researchers have created an origami robot that folds itself into shape from a flat sheet, potentially opening the way for a robot-building revolution.

In what may be the birth of cheap, easy-to-make robots, researchers have created complex machines that transform themselves from little more than a sheet of paper and plastic into walking ...

Researchers at Harvard collaborated with Sony to build a tiny, origami-inspired surgical robot. The robot is only about the size of a tennis ball and weighs only as much as a penny. And it's not ...

She’s previously designed a tiny origami robot that can be swallowed to retrieve small foreign objects — say, a button battery in a child’s stomach, or patch an internal wound.

This little guy is about to impress you. It’s able to fold itself, walk, swim, carry things and even degrade into nothingness. The little origami robot is cool. Made from a laser-cut, 1.7 cm ...

Researchers have developed a swallowable robot able to unfold inside a patient's stomach and then dislodge foreign objects or even carry out microsurgery.

Danish scientists have developed an origami snake robot that could one day search for survivors at disaster sites, or even explore other planets. The device moves via rectilinear locomotion, just ...
