A robot can design, build and test objects made from folded paper, such as planes or grippers, better than a human if given the same number of attempts. Robotic laboratories can test and design ...

Using paper coated with silicon resin and iron particles, researchers created an untethered soft robot that can move without any electronics. This magnetically controlled device can detect heavy metal ...

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 ...

Hugging Face, a well-known name in AI development, is making big moves in the world of robotics. The company has just introduced two open-source humanoid robots, HopeJR and Reachy Mini, designed to ...

Biological systems have inspired the development of next-generation soft robotic systems with diverse motions and functions. Such versatility in soft robots—in terms of rapid and efficient ...

What do you see when you close your eyes and imagine robots? Probably tough, metallic machines that can withstand all sorts of extreme conditions. While that's usually the case with most DARPA-funded ...

This week, at a media art festival in Tokyo, these twelve miniature paper robots are preparing to kick some pulpy ass. Birdman (the guy in the ring, on the left) is the likely winner because he’s been ...

Cambridge, MA – Computer-aided design (CAD) systems are tried-and-true tools used to design many of the physical objects we use each day. But CAD ...
