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 ...

Marking a significant advancement in molecular robotics, researchers have created custom-designed and programmable nanostructures using DNA origami. The University of Sydney Nano Institute team ...

The next generation of soft robots might be folding and sliding as effortlessly as living tissue, say a team of engineers who have created “magnetic muscles” with 3D printing. Filling elastic, ...

When people are dropped into the most dangerous of conditions – as when disaster strikes, or during exploration of another ...

Researchers have created a minuscule origami robot that unfolds itself from a swallowed capsule and, steered by external magnetic fields, moves across the stomach wall to remove swallowed objects or ...
