Flexible, adaptable micro-robots inspired by origami

University of Michigan researchers are developing new origami inspired methods for designing, fabricating and actuating micro-robots using heat.These improvements will expand the mechanical capabilities of the tiny bots, allowing them to fold into more complex shapes. These flexible, adaptable microbots could prove useful repairing wounds inside the body, inspecting collapsed buildings or other applications. The work is led by Evgueni Filipov, associate professor of civil and environmental engineering. https://drsl.engin.umich.edu/ Read more: https://news.engin.umich.edu/2020/07/... ------ Watch more videos from University of Michigan Engineering and subscribe:    / michiganengineering   The University of Michigan College of Engineering is one of the world’s top engineering schools.
