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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The cubes, which are 3D printed and assembled into a larger structure, are able to dynamically transform into over 1,000 shapes, including tunnel shapes, bridges, and multi-story structures.
