Abstract

This paper reports a magnetically actuated amphibious origami millirobot capable of spinning-enabled multimodal locomotion, liquid medicine delivery, and cargo transportation. The robot uses Kresling origami's geometry and folding/unfolding capabilities for omnidirectional locomotion (rolling, flipping, spinning), liquid medicine delivery (folding/unfolding as a pump), and cargo transportation (spinning creates suction). Potential applications include minimally invasive biomedical diagnoses and treatments.
