Origami robots may be the next great revolution in automated technology. Starting from a flat plane, the tiny robot can fold itself into a three-dimensional form, and start traveling in less than five ...
The plastic suits start out flat, but when heated fold over the robot to transform it into a specialised machine. Researchers suggest their adaptable suit-wearing robots could one day be used to build ...
A real-life Transformer has been created by scientists inspired by the Japanese paper-folding art of origami. In tests, the small shape-changing robot folded itself into a functional machine that ...
In tests, the small shape- changing robot folded itself into a functional machine that could walk and turn without human help. But unlike Transformers toys — robots that disguise themselves as cars ...
Inspired by the paper-folding art of origami, North Carolina State University engineers have discovered a way to make a single plastic cubed structure transform into more than 1,000 configurations ...
If the new nano-machines built at The Ohio State University look familiar, it's because they were designed with full-size mechanical parts such as hinges and pistons in mind. The project is the first ...
