McGill University engineers have developed ultra-thin materials that can move, fold, and reshape themselves, ...

UCLA researchers have come up with a method to create foldable origami robots that can evaluate and respond to their environment. Previously, roboticists mainly made only the bodies of these robots by ...

A multidisciplinary team has created a new fabrication technique for fully foldable robots that can perform a variety of complex tasks without relying on semiconductors. Roboticists have been using a ...

Soft actuation remains the key bottleneck in creating soft robots with flexible deformation and agile locomotion similar to nature creatures. Despite extensive efforts, it remains performance ...

(Nanowerk News) Roboticists have been using a technique similar to the ancient art of paper folding to develop autonomous machines out of thin, flexible sheets. These lightweight robots are simpler ...

A three-dimensional DNA origami robot has been developed to probe the mechanism of recently discovered cellular receptors sensitive to touch and force. On a cellular level, our bodies have a dense ...
