Self Assembling Robots



Reported in CWorld:  " ... Scientists create self-assembling, working robots ... These origami robots can fold up and walk away ...  Then add to the mix that it's a laser-cut origami robot and you have the new robotic technology created by a team of engineers from Harvard, the Wyss Institute and MIT.... "  Self assembly is such a biological, powerful notion.  Even scary when taken to to its eventual endpoint.  Not self replication here, but self assembling.  In particular for spacecraft applications that have tight limits in their form and volume requirements.  More detailed Wyss Institute report.
