Toward self-folding robots
Published on Sep 12, 2017
Quote:
Researchers report a new technique for printing electronics that can fold themselves into a predetermined shape. The development, reported in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, could lead to new ways for people to interact with machines and even create self-folding robots.

Article "“Peel-and-go” printable structures fold themselves"Quote:
A team of researchers from MIT and Umass Amherst have designed 3-D printed structures that can fold themselves up without any outside stimulus, and the folding begins the instant it is peeled off the printing platform.
Expanding polymer enables self-folding without heating or immersion in water.
