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 ...

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.

PAPER structures created using the principles of origami could lead to cheap, easy-to-make robots that are very different from their traditional metal brethren. George Whitesides and colleagues at ...

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 ...
