In theory, their design — which was largely inspired by the paper-folding art of origami — offers a more efficient way to send assembly structures into space, where the robot could then ...

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.

The transformer bots can make shapes such as tunnel-like structures, bridge-like structures, and even multi-story architectures. LA MM VIA PEXELS. The North Carolina State University research team ...

These Battery-Free, Tiny Robots Transform Into Origami-Inspired Foldable Paper to Change How They Move Mid-Air These innovative robotic devices called "microfliers" employ a Miura-ori origami fold.

New shape-shifting ‘Transformer bots’ have been inspired by origami. The versatile robots could transform space travel, say scientists.
