Engineers at Switzerland's Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) have unveiled a groundbreaking development in robotics: shapeshifting, 2D triangular robots that can transform into virtually ...

Inspired by the paper-folding art of origami, engineers have discovered a way to make a single plastic cubed structure transform into more than 1,000 configurations using only three active motors.

“Our aim with Mori3 is to create a modular, origami-like robot that can be assembled and disassembled at will depending on the environment and task at hand,” says Jamie Paik, director of the ...

DNA origami sounds like science fiction, but for HIV vaccine researchers it is becoming a practical design tool. By folding strands of DNA into tiny three-dimensional scaffolds, scientists can arrange ...

A team of engineers has unveiled a unique robot design that's similar to origami as it can fold and change its shape. Astronauts heading to the Moon may be joined by shapeshifting robots called Mori ...

Shape-morphing, insect-scale robots that feature an origami-inspired design and eight independently actuated degrees of freedom, powered by custom piezoelectric actuators for enhanced mechanical ...
