Thanks to innovations from MIT, there is now a tin, origami robot capable of performing internal surgery after being swallowed by a patient.

Rather than paper, researchers are starting to apply origami’s principles to robotics: instead of putting a robot together piece by piece through some complicated assembly process, researchers ...

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

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

Is an origami robot uprising unfolding? Researchers at Harvard have developed flat robots that can fold themselves up into origami shapes and start walking.

Origami can turn a flat sheet of paper into complex 3-D shapes like birds and flowers and frogs. Scientists at Harvard University's Microrobotics Lab are taking the art of paper folding to a new ...

As creepy as it sounds, a newly-developed ingestible origami robot could soon treat internal wounds directly like never before.

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 ...

The new origami-style muscles, or "actuators," can lift objects up to 1,000 times their own weight and cost less than $1 to make. Each muscle's folded inner skeleton sits inside a plastic or ...

An origami millirobot that integrates capabilities of spinning-enabled multimodal movement, cargo transportation and targeted drug delivery tumbles through a laboratory obstacle course.
