Origami robots are created using folding processes, which provide a simple approach to
fabricating a wide range of robot morphologies. Inspired by biological systems, engineers …

A magnetic field has unique advantages in controlling soft robotics inside of an enclosed
space, such as surgical catheters or untethered drug‐delivering robots operating in the …

Shape-morphing structured materials have the ability to transform a range of applications.
However, their design and fabrication remain challenging due to the difficulty of controlling …

Shape-morphing uses a single actuation source for complex-task-oriented multiple patterns
generation, showing a more promising way than reconfiguration, especially for microrobots …

At rest, beetles fold and tuck their hindwings under the elytra. For flight, the hindwings are
deployed through a series of unfolding configurations that are passively driven by flapping …

Nature demonstrates adaptive and extreme shape morphing via unique patterns of
movement. Many of them have been explained by monolithic shape-changing mechanisms …

Origami offers an avenue to program three-dimensional shapes via scale-independent and
non-destructive fabrication. While such programming has focused on the geometry of a …

Origami can enable structures that are compact and lightweight. The facets of an origami
structure in traditional designs, however, are essentially nondeformable rigid plates …

This paper introduces an approach to fabricating lightweight, untethered soft robots capable
of diverse biomimetic locomotion. Untethering soft robotics from electrical or pneumatic …

Birds, bats and many insects can tuck their wings against their bodies when at rest and
deploy them to power flight. Whereas birds and bats use well-developed pectoral and wing …
