    PUFFER: Traverses 45-degree incline with rocky obstacles

    Published on Mar 12, 2017

    Pop-Up Flat Folding Explorer Robots, or PUFFER, is a small, origami-inspired robotic technology under development to provide a low-volume, low-cost mission enhancement for accessing new science from extreme terrains that are of high interest to future NASA missions. A “pop-up” robot that folds into a small, smartphone-sized weight and volume, PUFFER’s compact design means numerous robots can be packed into a larger “parent” craft at a low payload cost, then deployed on a planet’s surface individually to increase surface mobility.

    NASA’s PUFFER robot can explore extreme terrains

    Published on Mar 20, 2017

    The origami-inspired Pop-Up Flat Folding Explorer Robots (PUFFER) is being designed to take on the hard to reach terrains on future NASA missions. Due to its small size and weight, “numerous robots can be packed into a larger “parent” craft at a low payload cost,” according to the space agency.
