In recent years, roboticists have created a growing number of autonomous systems based on different structures and designs. Among these are modular robots, which are composed of different elements or ...

When people hear the word origami, many think of works created from a single sheet of paper, such as cranes or samurai helmets. However, did you know that there is actually a genre in the world of ...

Modular origami is an engaging, artistic craft that transforms simple paper sheets into intricate, three-dimensional models. With patience and practice, you can create stunning sculptures for personal ...

You may be familiar with origami, the Japanese art of paper folding, but chances are you haven’t come across smocking. This technique refers to the way fabric can be bunched by stitches, often made in ...

In the rapidly evolving landscape of materials science, the emergence of metamaterials with intricate deformation mechanisms is reshaping how engineers and physicists conceive machine-like behavior in ...

For the first time, load-bearing structures like bridges and shelters can be made with origami modules—versatile components that can fold compactly and adapt into different shapes, a new study shows.

Abstract: Modular designs in soft robots enable repair and reconfiguration, making soft modular robots suitable for applications where resilience, flexibility, and adaptability are critical. This ...

Origami has plenty to offer the world of robotics, inspiring clever folding machines that could find their way into our stomaches and out to Mars. Scientists have again borrowed from this ancient ...
