Autonomous control of magnetically-actuated miniature robots enables greater versatility and complexity in function but has so far been a challenge to implement. In this paper, we present closed-loop position feedback control of a miniature origami robot utilizing its integrated magnet and an array…
Developing miniature robots that can carry out versatile clinical procedures inside the body under the remote instructions of medical professionals has been a long time challenge. In this paper, we present origami-based robots that can be ingested into the stomach, locomote to a desired location, pa
A miniature robotic device that can fold-up on the spot, accomplish tasks, and disappear by degradation into the environment promises a range of medical applications but has so far been a challenge in engineering. This work presents a sheet that can self-fold into a functional 3D robot, actuate imme…
