Here’s a little robot that knows how to dress for the occasion. Scientists at MIT have built a bot that can, with a little origami action, change its shape from a walking bot to a rolling or even a ...

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 ...

CAROLINA BEACH, N.C. — New shape-shifting ‘Transformer bots’ have been inspired by origami. The versatile robots could transform space travel, say scientists. Taking inspiration from the ancient ...

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 ...

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 ...

(Nanowerk News) 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 ...

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 ...

The plastic suits start out flat, but when heated fold over the robot to transform it into a specialised machine. Researchers suggest their adaptable suit-wearing robots could one day be used to build ...

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 ...
