In what may be the birth of cheap, easy-to-make robots, researchers have created complex machines that transform themselves from little more than a sheet of paper and plastic into walking ...

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 ...

Thanks to special exoskeleton outfits, a tiny transforming robot can now become more than meets the eye. Once outfitted with the plastic exoskeletons, the small bots– dubbed Primers– are able ...

Rather than paper, researchers are starting to apply origami’s principles to robotics: instead of putting a robot together piece by piece through some complicated assembly process, researchers ...

Unless alien machines that can turn into cars and trucks come and teach us their secrets, we'll have to conjure up our own ways to make transforming robots. Researchers from MIT CSAIL have been on ...
