Abstract: This letter presents a novel robotic mechanism inspired by origami and its fabrication method using three-dimensional (3D) printing. The selected twisted tower design shows unique structural ...

Abstract: Multifingered robot hands have the ability to manipulate and grasp various objects, like a human hand. In previous studies, we have looked at paper folding operations (Origami) as an example ...

Madonna Yoder ’17 studied rocks at MIT. But her passion is for paper—with no scissors. Today, she’s a tessellation expert who teaches, invents new designs, and writes papers on the underlying math.

A new 3D printing technique can create paper-thin "magnetic muscles," which can be applied to origami structures to make them move. By infusing rubber-like elastomers with materials called ...

Tiny, adaptable robots now walk, swim, and collaborate across varied terrains thanks to a modular 3D-printed design, paving the way for versatile micro robotics in medicine, environmental monitoring, ...
