Our curved origami designs have a simple mechanical structure, making them easy to fabricate and control.

Origami-based engineering could also lead to lightweight, ultra-tough materials that can alter their mechanical properties on demand, scientists added.

In the August 7 issue of Science, they report their latest milestone: a robot, made almost entirely from parts produced by a laser cutter, that folds itself up and crawls away as soon as batteries ...

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

These soft robots can change shape on their own as the environment around them changes. They fold up like origami, thanks to their 3D-printed hinges.

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.

What started as a “fun hobby project” based on a love of origami may turn into a device with the potential to work in manufacturing, surgery, and even in space. Kiju Lee, an assistant professor of ...

New research details how origami structures and bio-inspired design can be used to create a crawling robot. New research from a team of University of Illinois Mechanical Science and engineering ...

Researchers have found a way to send tiny, soft robots into humans, potentially opening the door for less invasive surgeries and ways to deliver treatments for conditions ranging from colon polyps ...
