The researchers compare their use of origami to 3D printing — an increasingly easy way to turn 2D materials into 3D shapes.

Harvard researchers are using wireless magnetic fields and actuator “muscles” to make a folding robot that doesn't require batteries.

A graduate student has developed a robot that is capable of folding paper according to the rules of Japanese origami.

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 ...

We put all sorts of stuff in our bodies every day; now, the developers of this little robot hope to change the world in a similar way.

However, this tiny little origami robot could just be the first baby step toward that kind of sci-fi future. Contact Ron Paul Gavino at [email protected]. Find him on Twitter: @rp_gavino.

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

As if a brain-like processing chip weren't bad enough news for us humans, this week's edition of Science also describes a robot that, after being laid out as a flat sheet, can fold itself into the ...

Folding robots are nothing new, but scientists from Harvard and MIT have taken it to the next level, by designing one that assembles itself and walks away to do its job with zero human input. The ...
