Once inside, a magnetic field guides and unfolds it at the target site, where it releases medicine in a controlled and steady ...
A new 3D printing technique can create paper-thin "magnetic muscles," which can be applied to origami structures to make them ...
The next generation of soft robots might be folding and sliding as effortlessly as living tissue, say a team of engineers who ...
A field called swarm robotics is taking inspiration from ants, bees and even slime molds.
A new 3-D printing technique can create paper-thin "magnetic muscles," which can be applied to origami structures to make them move.
A crawler robot made with the miura-ori origami pattern. The dark sections are affixed with thin "magnetic muscles" made by co-extruding rubber polymer and ferromagnetic particles, which move the ...
NC State researchers create 3D-printed magnetic origami robots for precise, targeted drug delivery inside the body.
In response to a short pulse of near-infrared light, the robot released the pebble. Further, the light produced heat triggered a shape change that forced the robot to unfold. The robot then returned ...
SEOUL, South Korea — What if doctors could deploy thousands of tiny robots to clear blocked arteries? Scientists at Hanyang ...
