Researchers have created microscale robots less than 1 millimeter in size that are printed as a 2D hexagonal 'metasheet' but, with a jolt of electricity, morph into preprogrammed 3D shapes and crawl.

Researchers at EPFL and Idiap Research Institute have developed a geometry-aware system that allows robots to manipulate irregularly shaped objects such as bananas, cups, and peelers. Using stereo ...

A paper crane that flaps its wings without a single motor inside it sounds like a magic trick. But engineers at Princeton University have built exactly that: a soft robot, constructed entirely through ...
