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.

Researchers have developed a way to assemble and pre-program tiny structures made from microscopic cubes -- 'microbot origami' -- to change their shape when actuated by a magnetic field and then, ...

CAROLINA BEACH, N.C. — New shape-shifting ‘Transformer bots’ have been inspired by origami. The versatile robots could transform space travel, say scientists. Taking inspiration from the ancient ...
