Researchers have created microscale robots less than 1 millimeter in size that are printed as a 2D hexagonal 'metasheet' but, with a jolt of electricity, morph into preprogrammed 3D shapes and crawl.

Depending which hinges are activated, the robot can adopt various shapes and potentially wrap itself around other objects, and then unfold itself back into a flat sheet.

Technology Robots These 2D machines can shapeshift into moving 3D robots Mori3's triangular, modular design allows it to fuse with its companions, and could one day make it into space. By Andrew Paul ...

A cheetah's powerful sprint, a snake's lithe slither, or a human's deft grasp: Each is made possible by the seamless interplay between soft and rigid tissues. Muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bones ...

See how an autonomous robot created a shock-absorbing shape no human ever could -- and what it means for designing safer helmets, packaging, car bumpers, and more.

We really like the idea of collaborative toy-robot design, and from what we’ve seen the basic Zowi platform is a winner. Check it out and see if you’re not inspired to add your own personal ...

Plenty of robots stick to a pair of driven wheels to keep locomotion simple. If you’re bold though, or just like creepy crawlies, you might instead appreciate this cute scorpion robot build. … ...

NASA believes the robots could be idea for a future mission to Titan, a moon orbiting Saturn that’s believed to be the only other place in the solar system with liquid on its surface. “We have ...

Researchers have created a 3D-printed seed robot that can transform itself and move around the environment autonomously.
