New modular robot design leverages shared electronics and power to maintain function even when modules fail.

EPFL roboticists have shown that when a modular robot shares power, sensing, and communication resources among its individual ...

Although crucial for mathematical problem solving and long-term STEM achievement, visuospatial skills remain a significant challenge for many students in the United States. Therefore, it is critical ...

Bloom patterns could be useful, as engineers build folding structures to send to outer space. They’re also very pretty. Researchers have now found a new class of origami that they call bloom patterns, ...

Learn how to fold a stunning ringed cube using modular origami techniques in this beginner-friendly tutorial! With just a few sheets of paper and some simple folds, you'll create a 3D geometric ...

Abstract: Soft robots show advantages in flexibility and safe interaction compared with traditional rigid robots. The modular design of soft robots further improves their reconfigurability and easy ...

The sensor uses a DNA origami scaffold, which consists of two arms connected by a molecular “hinge.” Each arm is tagged with a fluorescent dye, and the distance between the tags is recorded by means ...
