James Vincent is a senior reporter who has covered AI, robotics, and more for eight years at The Verge. Researchers from MIT have designed a new ingestible “robot” that could one day be used to patch ...

It's one thing to have butterflies when you're nervous, but envision a tiny robot crawling around inside your stomach. Researchers have developed an ingestible origami robot to do just that. Swallowed ...

Researchers from the University of Sheffield, Tokyo Institute of Technology, and MIT have teamed up to demonstrate a new foldable origami robot that can be ingested and then controlled inside the ...

A new robot that constructs its own body out of flat sheets of paper and plastic, using the energy from a standard AA battery to power a circuit, is being compared to the Japanese art of paper folding ...

Getting to the root of the problem has never looked quite like this, medically speaking. Thanks to the latest innovation from the minds at MIT, there is now a tiny origami robot capable of performing ...

Various robots that combine strength and lightness by applying "origami" technology are being studied. Researchers at MIT have already adopted the origami structure, are compact, lightweight and move ...

MIT researchers are at it again. This time, a joint research team with TU Munich has developed a self-folding origami robot capable of a range of tasks. The robot can even self-destruct after it ...

Using techniques inspired by the art of origami, a US-based team has built a robot that can fold itself into shape starting from a flat sheet. The results are described in the 8 August issue of ...

A robot that can make delicate paper models using the ancient Japanese art of origami has been developed by a US student. Origami involves folding and sometimes tearing paper to build three ...

A team of researchers from MIT and Harvard has built the first origami-inspired robot that can fold and shuffle away by itself. According to a study published today in the journal Science, the robot ...

It is a horror every parent has encountered - the panic at discovering their child has swallowed something they shouldn't have. But in future, thanks to a team of scientists at Massachusetts Institute ...
