Paper-thin magnetic muscles bring origami robots to life for medical use
A new 3D printing technique can create paper-thin "magnetic muscles," which can be applied to origami structures to make them ...
Various robots that combine strength and lightness by applying "origami" technology are being studied. Researchers at MIT have already adopted the origami structure, are compact, lightweight and move ...
An origami robot can crawl forward like a snake 1. Snakes’ winding movements have long inspired robotics researchers, but the linear motion that allows the reptiles to creep through tight spaces ...
Imagine swallowing a tablet knowing it contains a robot that, when it enters your stomach, unfolds like origami and crawls its way around to heal where the ailment is. This could be the future of ...
The delicate art of paper folding is playing a crucial role in designing robotic artificial muscles that are startlingly strong. In fact, the researchers say they can lift objects 1,000 times their ...
