Soft robot crawls, climbs, and morphs with single air input for versatile mobility. Story by Jijo Malayil ... SIMM was created by researchers using design concepts from origami and kirigami.

An origami design helps this robot lift delicate and heavy cargo. ... Such a versatile gripping machine could one day work on a factory assembly line or lend a hand around the house.

An origami technique called Miura-ori folding inspired researchers to create a design that allows paper and other materials to support much more weight than they would have been able to otherwise.

"Origami for space architecture promotes cross-disciplinary approaches and applications, providing state-of-the-art production and design methods," says Anna Sitnikova, leader of the MoonMars project.

A versatile origami fold could be the key to creating just about any structure, from the nanoscale to full-scale buildings, according to new engineering research out this week. A team at Harvard ...
