A robot-origami, invented by scientists from Harvard, mount alone, and four and a half minutes, starts walking. Inspired by the Japanese technique “Origami” batteries is composed of a motor and composite materials that bend when heated.
This is a great achievement for the researchers who have
pursued for many years, a way to create robots that assemble themselves and able to perform duties, said Rob Wood, professor
of electrical engineering at the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired
Engineering, Harvard University, and one of the mentors of the robot.
The creators of the project confess that his dream is to “make the manufacture of quick and inexpensive robots.” Thus, the robots could be used to rescue people and travel to space missions.
The origami robot costs about 75 euros all inclusive or 15 euros without motors, batteries and microcontrollers.
This robot is formed by a two-dimensional basis, a sheet made of layers of different materials with two batteries.
This sheet comprises two outer layers of a polymer “memory” two inner layers of paper and artificial resin.
