A crawler robot made with the miura-ori origami pattern. The dark sections are affixed with thin "magnetic muscles" made by co-extruding rubber polymer and ferromagnetic particles, which move the ...

The combined mental prowess of Harvard University and MIT has yielded a special kind of self-assembling robot that folds up like origami and crawls away. The prototype, which is built almost entirely ...

The next generation of soft robots might be folding and sliding as effortlessly as living tissue, say a team of engineers who have created “magnetic muscles” with 3D printing. Filling elastic, ...

Soft robotics has been making waves in the technological field for its capacity to blend the intricacies of traditional robotics with the unyielding versatility of non-rigid structures. Amid this ...

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 ...
