  "textContent": "\"Ancient Japanese Art Brings Spineless Robot To Life!\" Sounds very much like a movie plot summary. In reality, it perfectly describes the work of Princeton University engineers who have created a robot that moves without a single motor or gear, using heat and the principles of origami instead. Their soft robotic system relies on a combination of heat-sensitive advanced materials, flexible embedded electronics, and carefully designed folding structures to produce motion, ditching traditional mechanical components.\n\nContinue Reading\n\n**Category:** Robotics, Engineering\n\n**Tags:** Soft Robotics, Princeton University, Origami",
