  OrigaMechs, the latest innovation in origami robotics, are fully foldable robots that can perform complex tasks without relying on semiconductors. Developed by a multidisciplinary team led by researchers at the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering, these robots are simpler and cheaper to make, more compact for easier storage and transport, and capable of working in extreme environments where traditional semiconductor-based electronics might fail to function. In this article, we will introduce you to the fascinating world of OrigaMechs, their creation process, and potential applications. Engineers Created a Fully Foldable, Chip-Free Robot The creation of OrigaMechs, a fully foldable and chip-free robot, required the expertise of a multidisciplinary team led by researchers at the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering. The team had to overcome the challenges posed by the rigid computer chips traditionally needed to enable advanced robot capabilities such as sensing, analyzing...
