A crawler robot made with the miura-ori origami pattern. The dark sections are affixed with thin "magnetic muscles" made by co-extruding rubber polymer and ferromagnetic particles, which move the ...

A new 3D printing technique can create paper-thin "magnetic muscles," which can be applied to origami structures to make them move. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news updates. By ...

The days of waiting for a swallowed item to pass through the body may soon be gone, thanks to a tiny pill-size origami robot. Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers recently developed a ...

Origami isn’t just art anymore. A team of researchers at North Carolina State University has developed a new 3D printing technique that gives origami robots a life of their own, thanks to paper-thin ...

Soft actuation remains the key bottleneck in creating soft robots with flexible deformation and agile locomotion similar to nature creatures. Despite extensive efforts, it remains performance ...

A new 3-D 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 ...

Researchers have created a minuscule origami robot that unfolds itself from a swallowed capsule and, steered by external magnetic fields, moves across the stomach wall to remove swallowed objects or ...
