Fold Walker: An Origami‐Inspired Quadruped Robot for Multipattern Locomotion and Object Grasping
This article presents Fold Walker, an origami‐inspired quadruped robot capable of multipattern locomotion and object grasping. With each leg featuring two rotational folds, the robot can transform from a flat 2D configuration into complex 3D poses. Furthermore, its trunk and legs can be one‐shot 3D printed as a unified structure, greatly simplifying ...

TreeSpider: In‐Canopy Exploration With Tether‐Based Aerial Modular Arms
A tethered drone with perching arms and a 360° ring enables unprecedented maneuverability within dense forest canopies. By dynamically adjusting tether length and decoupling pitch from the frame, it navigates between branches, senses multiple trees, and interacts physically with foliage.
