This robot paper plane designer (really a robot arm fashioned with silicone grippers) can run through this whole process without human feedback. A video of the robot at work.

In what may be the birth of cheap, easy-to-make robots, researchers have created complex machines that transform themselves from little more than a sheet of paper and plastic into walking automatons.

The robots incorporated with paper electrodes and liquid crystal elastomer bilayer achieve asymmetric bending.

Scientists have discovered how to build robots out of rice paper, opening up brand new possibilities for robotic applications. A team from the University of Bristol discovered that the same ...

Though clearly inspired by the snake, a new soft robot out of Harvard takes cues from another fascinating source: the ancient Japanese paper craft kirigami. Unlike origami, kirigami uses cuts ...
