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, ...

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 ...

New origami-based electrohydraulic actuators enhance soft robots' agility, enabling rapid, untethered movement across complex ...

A team of scientists from North Carolina State University (NC State) has produced an ultra-thin magnetic film using 3D printing that can be applied to origami structures. The resulting actuator can be ...

Small flying devices that can change how they move through the air using an origami folding technique pave the way for new battery-free designs in micro-sized flying robots, or microfliers, which can ...

Kaushik Jayaram's bioinspired robotics are on the cover of the latest issue of the journal Advanced Intelligent Systems. The article, "Design of CLARI: A Miniature Modular Origami Passive ...

Researchers at Virginia Tech and Clemson collaborate to produce robotic sensors that mimic the characteristics of plants for optimal environmental monitoring “When I started to venture into robotics a ...
