Here’s a little robot that knows how to dress for the occasion. Scientists at MIT have built a bot that can, with a little origami action, change its shape from a walking bot to a rolling or ...

Origami robots can now assemble themselves and start their own motors without human interaction. Origami robots may be the next great revolution in automated technology.

This self-folding robot goes from flat to fast (sort of) in just four minutes. Using flat materials and origami-inspired patterns, researchers have designed a real-life transformer that can ...

Engineers have created a configurable robot that can transform into various structures, which has potential applications for building habitats in space.

Using Shrinky Dinks and paper, origami inspired folding robot assembles itself and crawls in four minutes.

The researchers compare their use of origami to 3D printing — an increasingly easy way to turn 2D materials into 3D shapes.

In experiments, self-folding, heat-activated origami suits created for robots could help the machines walk, roll, sail and glide, according to the new study.

An origami-inspired robot that self-assembles and then scuttles away under its own power has been revealed by researchers from Harvard University and MIT. Still in the experimental stage, the ...
