Once inside, a magnetic field guides and unfolds it at the target site, where it releases medicine in a controlled and steady ...

An origami robot can crawl forward like a snake 1. Snakes’ winding movements have long inspired robotics researchers, but the linear motion that allows the reptiles to creep through tight spaces ...

These configurable bots could launch flat and then be assembled in space. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. A newly designed ...

NC State researchers create 3D-printed magnetic origami robots for precise, targeted drug delivery inside the body.

A new 3D printing technique can create paper-thin "magnetic muscles," which can be applied to origami structures to make them move.

If a soft-bodied robot uses rigid actuators to move its body, then it isn't really soft now, is it? An experimental new caterpillar-inspired bot gets around that conundrum by using soft, collapsible ...
