The drone industry is evolving right in front of our eyes, with innovative ideas bursting into the field seemingly every other day in both the regulatory arena and the actual, physical drones ...

In a quest to make drones more functional (and just a little bit creepier), scientists have created a foldable robotic arm that allows drones to pick up objects inside narrow ditches. The arm, ...

(Nanowerk News) A research team of Seoul National University led by Professor Kyu-Jin Cho has developed an origami-inspired robotic arm that is foldable, self-assembling and also highly-rigid. (The ...

We all know drones offer unique views from above, but give ‘em a hand and they can do a whole lot more. With a functioning arm they could better enter tight areas or lend a hand in gathering samples.

From infrastructure inspection to medicine delivery in remote areas, drones are now starting to do useful work in various industries. But the task of picking up and putting down payloads still ...

Folding something up tightly can save space. People who have lived in a tiny apartment know this. So do drone accessory designers, apparently. Designs inspired by the paper-folding tradition of ...

A new portable laser cutter has been created by Red Ant Lasers based in Pittsburgh called the Origami, which has been designed to be the very first laser cutter with a fold-out arm and no limiting ...

Say hello to Twister. That’s Twisted Tower Robot, to those of you who demand full names—a title that does a rather better job of describing the form of the new device. Developed by researchers from ...
