The next generation of soft robots might be folding and sliding as effortlessly as living tissue, say a team of engineers who ...

In response to a short pulse of near-infrared light, the robot released the pebble. Further, the light produced heat triggered a shape change that forced the robot to unfold. The robot then returned ...

Researchers at North Carolina State University have created paper-thin “magnetic muscles” that can power origami structures.

A new 3-D printing technique can create paper-thin "magnetic muscles," which can be applied to origami structures to make them move. By infusing rubber-like elastomers with materials called ...

Researchers have developed a new 3D printing technique that creates paper-thin ‘magnetic muscles’ capable of bringing origami structures to life to deliver medicine inside the body. A crawler robot ...

A team of scientists from North Carolina State University (NC State) has produced an ultra-thin magnetic film using 3D printing that can be applied to origami structures. The resulting actuator can be ...

Once inside, a magnetic field guides and unfolds it at the target site, where it releases medicine in a controlled and steady manner. In tests using a mock stomach, a plastic sphere filled with warm ...

Meet Jake the Robot - aka Rizzbot. The Rizzbot is all over TikTok, insulting and rizzing up the ladies, throwing up middle fingers, dancing, and fainting — all while wearing a chain, Nike Dunks, a ...
