Getting to the root of the problem has never looked quite like this, medically speaking. Thanks to the latest innovation from the minds at MIT, there is now a tiny origami robot capable of performing ...

It’s alive! Using some paper, a circuit board and the plastic used in Shrinky Dinks, a team of researchers has designed an origami-inspired crawling robot that folds itself into working order in about ...

Origami-inspired bots that can fold into a number of different shapes have been developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) ...

It's one thing to have butterflies when you're nervous, but envision a tiny robot crawling around inside your stomach. Researchers have developed an ingestible origami robot to do just that. Swallowed ...

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 move ...

Every year, there are 3,500 reported cases of swallowed button batteries. The tiny batteries can move through the digestive system normally. However, if one stays in a person's body too long, its ...

Think of origami and you may imagine delicate paper cranes or fortune tellers. But the art of folding paper to create 3D shapes has been used to make a flexible robot. Roboticists have shown off two ...
