A team of researchers from North Carolina State University has created a new 3D-printing method that builds paper-thin ...

University of Washington (UW) scientists have introduced a remarkable advancement in micro-robotics, crafting battery-free, tiny robots inspired by the folding patterns of leaves. University of ...

These could be the stuff of nightmares — if they weren’t so damn cute. Scientists at the University of Washington have developed adorable little electronic “microfliers,” the size of a postage stamp, ...

What do you see when you close your eyes and imagine robots? Probably tough, metallic machines that can withstand all sorts of extreme conditions. While that's usually the case with most DARPA-funded ...

Harvard and MIT engineers, showing a reckless disregard for the robocalypse, have created origami robots that can self-assemble themselves -- from a flat piece of paper and polystyrene -- and walk ...

Researchers at North Carolina State University have created paper-thin “magnetic muscles” that can power origami structures. The technology uses magnetic films to generate controlled movement for ...

Scientists at the University of Washington have developed flying robots that change shape in mid-air, all without batteries, as originally published in the research journal Science Robotics. These ...

Mechanical metamaterials are structures carefully designed to give rise to unique or unusual physical properties. Now a team has taken inspiration from origami to create a modular metamaterial system.

Small flying devices that can change how they move through the air using an origami folding technique pave the way for new battery-free designs in micro-sized flying robots, or microfliers, which can ...

Unlock the art of origami with our step-by-step guide to creating beautiful paper creations. In this video, we’ll walk you through the fundamental techniques needed to transform simple pieces of paper ...

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 like ...
