WASHINGTON — 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 ...

ZURI is a DIY, programmable “Paperbot” system, which is pretty much exactly what it sounds like: The parts are built with paper and cardboard. Plus, the design is modular. By combining leg- and ...

We've all been there. It's a dark, lonely place—when you're sitting on the throne, looking to wrap things up, and you look over to see an empty toilet paper roll. You can't exactly hike up your pants ...

Researchers at Purdue University have created a magnetic "ferropaper" that might be used to make low-cost "micromotors" for surgical instruments, tiny tweezers to study cells and miniature speakers.

Athletes jumping off a diving board. A duck circling a pond. Planets rotating in space. What do all these things have in common? They—or at least, their robotic representations—are products of a ...

If you love robotics sets or enjoy papercraft projects, then odds are that you'll get giddy as soon as you see the reDIYmate kits. After all, they combine the best of those two worlds and allow you to ...
