Thanks to innovations from MIT, there is now a tin, origami robot capable of performing internal surgery after being swallowed by a patient.

Using Shrinky Dinks and paper, origami inspired folding robot assembles itself and crawls in four minutes.

Rather than paper, researchers are starting to apply origami’s principles to robotics: instead of putting a robot together piece by piece through some complicated assembly process, researchers ...

Researchers develop an ingestible origami robot that has demonstrated the ability to unfold and retrieve a button battery from a simulated stomach.

Is an origami robot uprising unfolding? Researchers at Harvard have developed flat robots that can fold themselves up into origami shapes and start walking.

Scientists in Japan are developing a way for a tiny medical robot to enter your system and administer medicine — origami style. The team is made up of researchers from MIT, the University of ...

Since the stomach is a fluid environment, the robot’s forward motion is obtained by thrust (propelling water) and 80% is by stick-slip motion, one of the researchers said in a statement.

As creepy as it sounds, a newly-developed ingestible origami robot could soon treat internal wounds directly like never before.

The new origami-style muscles, or "actuators," can lift objects up to 1,000 times their own weight and cost less than $1 to make. Each muscle's folded inner skeleton sits inside a plastic or ...

An origami millirobot that integrates capabilities of spinning-enabled multimodal movement, cargo transportation and targeted drug delivery tumbles through a laboratory obstacle course.
