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.

Researchers at Harvard have developed flat robots that can fold themselves up into origami shapes and start walking.

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.

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 ...

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.

Researchers have created microscale robots less than 1 millimeter in size that are printed as a 2D hexagonal 'metasheet' but, with a jolt of electricity, morph into preprogrammed 3D shapes and crawl.

Origami has plenty to offer the world of robotics, the latest example of which is a tower-shaped soft robot that can grasp objects and could safely interact with humans, possibly even as a tool ...
