"Ancient Japanese Art Brings Spineless Robot To Life!" Sounds very much like a movie plot summary. In reality, it perfectly ...
Building robotic grippers that can firmly grasp heavy objects and also gently grasp delicate ones usually requires complicated sets of gears, hinges and motors. But it turns out that it’s also ...
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 ...
A multidisciplinary team has created a new fabrication technique for fully foldable robots that can perform a variety of complex tasks without relying on semiconductors. Roboticists have been using a ...
(Nanowerk News) Roboticists have been using a technique similar to the ancient art of paper folding to develop autonomous machines out of thin, flexible sheets. These lightweight robots are simpler ...
Cynthia Sung, head of the Sung Robotics Lab within Penn’s GRASP Lab, is especially interested in getting high school students into engineering. Self-folding origami robots, anyone? Cynthia Sung.
