Researchers Create Origami Robots

A team of researchers from MIT and Harvard University have developed an origami robot made of parts manufactured from a laser cutter that can fold itself up and move when batteries are attached to it. The co... Read More...

Baseball Team Adds Robo-Fans to Crowd

The South Korean Hanwha Eagles baseball team has added a section of robots to help improve the mood at baseball games. Over the past five years, the team has consistently been in last place and has lost over 400 games.

Researchers Creating Adaptable Furniture That Moves

Researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL) are creating modular robots that serve as intelligent furniture that can move, assemble, and reconfigured. The robots known as “Roombots” can join... Read More...

Researchers Develop Material that can Change Between Hard and Soft States

A team of MIT researchers created a phase-changing material built from wax and foam that could be used to build deformable surgical robots. These robots could switch between hard and soft states without damaging organs or vessels as it travels through the body.
