Dexterous robot conquers art of origami - 25 May 2004 - New Scientist

New Scientist: "A robot that can make delicate paper models using the ancient Japanese art of origami has been developed by a US student.

Origami involves folding and sometimes tearing paper to build three dimensional models of animals, people and other objects. It may be relatively simple for a skilled human to make such paper structures, but origami is a new challenge for robots."
