The robot's versatility is based on a novel design inspired by kirigami, allowing it to fold and move by electrochemically activating its hinges.
The research led by Itai Cohen shows how these metasheet robots can morph into various 3D shapes, enhancing their locomotion and adaptability.
Qingkun Liu states that their creation of a metasheet robot changes traditional robotics, enabling transformation and movement rather than maintaining a static shape.
The creation involves approximately 100 silicon dioxide panels and over 200 actuating hinges, illustrating a blend of precision engineering and innovative design.
