Origami-like robotic arm can withstand 400 times its weight
Seoul National University researchers have developed an origami-inspired robotic arm which can withstand over 400 times of its own weight. The "highly stiff" robotic arm can stretch 17.5 times of its folded state, while a 28-gram module of the arm can withstand over 12 kg. The arm, which features a gripper at its end, can help drones reach confined places.
