A team of engineers from MIT and Harvard has developed an origami flat-pack Robot which can fold itself and crawl away without any human intervention.
The design relies upon the power of origami, the ancient Japanese art of paper folding.
The robot is built from five layers of materials, all cut according to digital specifications by a laser cutter.
The method draws inspiration from self-assembly in nature, such as the way linear sequences of amino acids fold into complex proteins with sophisticated functions.
