    Robot Origami: Robot self-folds, walks, and completes tasks

    Published on Jun 11, 2015

    A team of MIT researchers have developed a printable origami robot that folds itself up from a flat sheet of plastic when heated and measures about a centimeter from front to back.

    Weighing only a third of a gram, the robot can swim, climb an incline, traverse rough terrain, and carry a load twice its weight.

    Ingestible origami robot

    Published on May 12, 2016

    Researchers at MIT, the University of Sheffield, and the Tokyo Institute of Technology have demonstrated a tiny origami robot that can unfold itself from a swallowed capsule and, steered by external magnetic fields, crawl across the stomach wall to remove a swallowed button battery or patch a wound.

    Stomach trouble? Try swallowing a robot

    Published on Jul 18, 2016

    A tiny, ingestible robot could be a new tool for healing serious stomach wounds. Researchers call it an “origami robot” because the accordion-shaped gadget is folded and frozen into an ice capsule, then unfolds after being swallowed. (July 19)

    “The idea that you could repair a human body by swallowing something, instead of making cuts, is amazing,” says innovator Daniela Rus.
