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.

Robots are taking “dress for success” to a whole other level. A new type of shape-shifting robot can undergo complete metamorphosis in a matter of minutes. The bot is composed of a simple metal cube ...

The big picture: While companies continue to improve robotic hardware, developing AI software to truly bring these machines to life has remained an elusive goal. This is especially disappointing given ...

Origami-like construction is a novel technology for objects that need to be stored and shipped in a compact form, and then folded out into strong 3D structures. Towards optimising such structures, ...

(Nanowerk News) Inspired by the paper-folding art of origami, North Carolina State University engineers have discovered a way to make a single plastic cubed structure transform into more than 1,000 ...
