NC State researchers create 3D-printed magnetic origami robots for precise, targeted drug delivery inside the body.

A new 3-D printing technique can create paper-thin "magnetic muscles," which can be applied to origami structures to make them move.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- Has your child swallowed a small battery? In the future, a tiny robot made from pig gut could capture it and expel it. Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are ...

If a soft-bodied robot uses rigid actuators to move its body, then it isn't really soft now, is it? An experimental new caterpillar-inspired bot gets around that conundrum by using soft, collapsible ...

Marking a significant advancement in molecular robotics, researchers have created custom-designed and programmable ...
