McGill University engineers have developed ultra-thin materials that can move, fold, and reshape themselves, ...
The arm uses origami for its construction. Lightweight plastic is folded in construction. The arm is designed to assist people with disabilities. WORCESTER — When someone envisions a robotic arm, they ...
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 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, ...
New origami-based electrohydraulic actuators enhance soft robots' agility, enabling rapid, untethered movement across complex terrains with high performance.
