A new 3-D printing technique can create paper-thin "magnetic muscles," which can be applied to origami structures to make them move.

The next generation of soft robots might be folding and sliding as effortlessly as living tissue, say a team of engineers who ...

Cynthia Sung, head of the Sung Robotics Lab within Penn’s GRASP Lab, is especially interested in getting high school students into engineering. Self-folding origami robots, anyone? Cynthia Sung.

The tiny robots start out flat, thin wafers of layered silicon, gold and plastic. It’s the heat created by an electric current that makes them fold along etched grooves, bending themselves into ...

Inspired by the paper-folding art of origami, engineers have discovered a way to make a single plastic cubed structure transform into more than 1,000 configurations using only three active motors.

These configurable bots could launch flat and then be assembled in space. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. A newly designed ...

On Wednesday, Google DeepMind announced two new AI models designed to control robots: Gemini Robotics and Gemini Robotics-ER. The company claims these models will help robots of many shapes and sizes ...

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 ...

Scientists have created paper-thin “magnetic muscles” that can make tiny origami robots move—opening up exciting new ...
