Part of this work includes developing software that would make robots easier to design ... Chen demonstrated a jumping robot that uses origami springs, explaining that origami materials are resilient, ...

Researchers have figured out how to make robotic bees using origami techniques that fold ... and cheaper to mass produce these tiny flying robots, perhaps allowing swarms of them to one day ...

A team of researchers from MIT and Harvard has built the first origami ... an inchworm robot and a self-folding lamp, but both needed human intervention to work. It wasn't an easy process ...

It may be relatively simple for a skilled human to make such paper structures, but origami is a new challenge for robots. This is because robots are normally required to manipulate rigid materials ...

(Xinghao Huang) Scientists from the Viterbi School of Engineering have created a one of a kind strain sensor with an origami-inspired design that ... When dealing with rigid robots, it is easy to ...

In theory, their design — which was largely inspired by the paper-folding art of origami — offers a more efficient way to send assembly structures into space, where the robot could then ...

He explains that the goal was to make robots as quickly and cheaply as possible. "And so we looked to origami in order to find ways to create a very complex and functional machine. Mathematically ...
