Scientists have discovered how to build robots out of rice paper, opening up brand new possibilities for robotic applications. A team from the University of Bristol discovered that the same ...

The materials used in their production make them more adaptable to different environments, while also being self-healing in some instances. The latest rice paper robots were detailed in a paper ...

It tracks its location on the paper using a gaming grade mouse sensor, and the team is exploring how to re-orient the robot if a print job is interrupted (and the robot moved) halfway through.

Despite decades of progress, most robots are still programmed for specific, repetitive tasks. They struggle with the unexpected and can't adapt to new situations without painstaking reprogramming. But ...
