The UC Berkeley morphing drone in the unfolded (top) and folded (bottom) configurations. The drone changes shape without the use of any additional actuators: When low thrust forces are produced by the propellers, springs pull the arms downward into the folded mode. When high thrust forces are produced, the vehicle transitions into the unfolded mode. Late last year, we wrote about a foldable drone from Davide Scaramuzza’s lab at the University of Zurich that could change its

But there are lots of environments that aren’t human designed, and researchers have been experimenting with robotic forms that look more like insects or fish. Now, a team of Swiss researchers has produced a robot that looks like nothing more than a walking circuit board. Despite its small size, though, the robot
