| These Small Robots are Inspired by Origami | |||
Roboticist Cynthia Sung has been doing origami since she was young. In collaboration with researchers from the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory and Columbia University, Sung is developing a tool for designing custom ground robots, which can walk or use wheels to move on the ground. The tool, called Interactive Robogami, is based on a database of robot parts which users can combine together like a "virtual Lego set." |
