The accordion-style origami robot folds up to fit inside an ice capsule that is small enough to swallow. Melanie Gonick/MIT. 2 / 2. The robot features a number of slits that determine how it folds.

The researchers suggest that the origami meat robot could be deployed in these scenarios to find the magnet, pulling it free from the tissue and guiding it toward the colon for evacuation.

The robot’s ability to overcome physical obstacles stems from a unique design: creased in an origami arrangement called a Kresling pattern and topped with a magnet.

But this origami robot is not ready for prime time quite yet. It hasn't been tested on humans or animals, so it's future is still unfolding. More from CBS News.

Engineers have created a configurable robot that can transform into various structures, which has potential applications for building habitats in space.
