EPFL roboticists have shown that when a modular robot shares power, sensing, and communication resources among its individual ...

DNA origami sounds like science fiction, but for HIV vaccine researchers it is becoming a practical design tool. By folding strands of DNA into tiny three-dimensional scaffolds, scientists can arrange ...

Inspired by the paper-folding art of origami, engineers have discovered a way to make a single plastic cubed structure transform into more than 1,000 configurations using only three active motors.

Engineers at Switzerland's Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) have unveiled a groundbreaking development in robotics: shapeshifting, 2D triangular robots that can transform into virtually ...

“Our aim with Mori3 is to create a modular, origami-like robot that can be assembled and disassembled at will depending on the environment and task at hand,” says Jamie Paik, director of the ...

A team of engineers has unveiled a unique robot design that's similar to origami as it can fold and change its shape. Astronauts heading to the Moon may be joined by shapeshifting robots called Mori ...

Shape-morphing, insect-scale robots that feature an origami-inspired design and eight independently actuated degrees of freedom, powered by custom piezoelectric actuators for enhanced mechanical ...

(Nanowerk News) 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 ...
