These battery-free robots change shape mid-air using origami

microflier

Researchers at the University of Washington have developed robotic microfliers that can change how they move while in the air by snapping into a folding position during descent. The microfliers use a Miuri-ori origami fold when dropped from a drone to switch from tumbling and dispersing outward through the air to dropping straight to the ground.
