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 automatons.

Washington, Sep 28 (PTI) Scientists have designed an origami-inspired soft and flexible robot that may one day be used on an assembly line, in surgery or even outer space. Kiju Lee, assistant ...

Powered by nothing more than puffs of air, robots molded from paper and silicone rubber can bend, twist, grip and even lift more than 100 times their weight. The pneumatic prototypes aren't as ...

Researchers at the Delft University of Technology have developed the smallest ever flow-driven motor from DNA that utilises electrical or salt gradients to generate mechanical energy. For the ...
