No battery, no wire, no problem

No battery, no wire, no problem 07/26/2017 11:13 AM EDT Folding robots based on origami have emerged as an exciting new frontier of robotic design, but generally require onboard batteries or a wired connection to a power source, limiting their functionality. A team of researchers at the Wyss Institute has created battery-free folding robots that are capable of complex, repeatable movements powered and controlled through a wireless magnetic field.
