Researchers develop an ingestible origami robot that has demonstrated the ability to unfold and retrieve a button battery from a simulated stomach. Michelle Starr is CNET's science editor, and she ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
The world's smallest origami bird — which is just 60 microns wide, or 20 times smaller than a single grain of sand — has been created by researchers from the US. Made from sheets only some 30 atoms ...
