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 ...

Using Shrinky Dinks and paper, origami inspired folding robot assembles itself and crawls in four minutes.

Rather than paper, researchers are starting to apply origami’s principles to robotics: instead of putting a robot together piece by piece through some complicated assembly process, researchers ...

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 ...

Researchers develop an ingestible origami robot that has demonstrated the ability to unfold and retrieve a button battery from a simulated stomach.

Since the stomach is a fluid environment, the robot’s forward motion is obtained by thrust (propelling water) and 80% is by stick-slip motion, one of the researchers said in a statement.

Home > Extreme MIT creates origami robot you can swallow With the aid of a magnetic field, the origami robot can crawl around in your stomach for science.

This self-folding robot goes from flat to fast (sort of) in just four minutes. Using flat materials and origami-inspired patterns, researchers have designed a real-life transformer that can ...

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

A team of researchers from MIT and elsewhere has developed a tiny, foldable robot that once swallowed, could be directed to perform tasks within the body.
