Computational Origami

Harvard and MIT do it again :)

They have transformed a art of origami into a programmed self-driven process!! OK.... staunch origamists may protest....but at least these guys have done it for simple shapes....which in itself is awesome work!!!

Quoting from the article in Nature news "The engineered sheet is effectively a shape-shifting robot — or, looked at another way, a kind of protean 'programmable matter'."
