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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

This little guy is about to impress you. It’s able to fold itself, walk, swim, carry things and even degrade into nothingness. The little origami robot is cool. Made from a laser-cut, 1.7 cm-square ...

A team of researchers from North Carolina State University has created a new 3D-printing method that builds paper-thin ...

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 ...

Researchers at the Delft University of Technology have developed the smallest ever flow-driven motor from DNA that utilises electrical or salt gradients to generate mechanical energy. For the ...

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 ...
