Inspired by the embodied intelligence observed in octopus arms, we introduce magnetically
controlled origami robotic arms based on Kresling patterns for multimodal deformations …

This study examines a biology-inspired approach of using reconfigurable articulation to
reduce the control requirement for soft robotic arms. We construct a robotic arm by …

Soft magneto-active machines capable of magnetically controllable shape-morphing and
locomotion have diverse promising applications such as untethered biomedical robots …

Deployability, multifunctionality, and tunability are features that can be explored in the
design space of origami engineering solutions. These features arise from the shape …

A foldable arm is one of the practical applications of folding. It can help mobile robots and
unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) overcome access issues by allowing them to reach into …

Tunable, soft, and multifunctional robots are contributing to developments in medical and
rehabilitative robotics, human-machine interaction, and intelligent home technology. A key …

The ability to grab, hold, and manipulate objects is a vital and fundamental operation in
biological and engineering systems. Here, we present a soft gripper using a simple material …

Origami enables folding of objects into a variety of shapes in arts, engineering, and
biological systems. In contrast to well-known paper-folded objects, the wing of the earwig …

Wireless millimeter-scale origami robots have recently been explored with great potential for
biomedical applications. Existing millimeter-scale origami devices usually require separate …

The octopus arm is often referred to as one of the most flexible limbs in nature, yet this
assumption requires detailed inspection given that this has not been measured …
