An international team of researchers has recently showcased a tiny origami robot that can be swallowed and controlled by external magnetic fields. According to Daniela Rus, an electrical engineering ...

Researchers develop an ingestible origami robot that has demonstrated the ability to unfold and retrieve a button battery from a simulated stomach. Michelle Starr is CNET's science editor, and she ...

Getting to the root of the problem has never looked quite like this, medically speaking. Thanks to the latest innovation from the minds at MIT, there is now a tiny origami robot capable of performing ...

The days of waiting for a swallowed item to pass through the body may soon be gone, thanks to a tiny pill-size origami robot. Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers recently developed a ...

This isn’t quite how most of us imagined the future: You walk into your local, 24-hour robot-manufacturing store — a sort of latter-day Kinko’s — and describe the kind of robot you want. Maybe it’s a ...

It's one thing to have butterflies when you're nervous, but envision a tiny robot crawling around inside your stomach. Researchers have developed an ingestible origami robot to do just that. Swallowed ...

Origami can turn a flat sheet of paper into complex 3-D shapes like birds and flowers and frogs. Scientists at Harvard University's Microrobotics Lab are taking the art of paper folding to a new ...

Most people can fold a piece of paper by the time they're in kindergarten, but it's not child's play for a robot, which must use complex mathematical formulas to accomplish the task. That's why ...

This self-folding robot goes from flat to fast (sort of) in just four minutes. Using flat materials and origami-inspired patterns, researchers have designed a real-life transformer that can assemble ...

is a senior reporter who has covered AI, robotics, and more for eight years at The Verge. Researchers from MIT have designed a new ingestible “robot” that could one day be used to patch internal ...
