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 ...

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

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

Various robots that combine strength and lightness by applying "origami" technology are being studied. Researchers at MIT have already adopted the origami structure, are compact, lightweight and ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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

An origami millirobot that integrates capabilities of spinning-enabled multimodal movement, cargo transportation and targeted drug delivery tumbles through a laboratory obstacle course.
