Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are commonly thought of as a rigid, nonflexible plane that supports and
connects electronic components. But today, flexible circuits are just as commonplace. The idea of a
flexible circuit has been around for decades, and engineers have successfully developed integrated
circuits (ICs) that can bend, stretch, and twist to a certain degree.
Carl Bugeja, an engineer from Multa, Italy, has capitalized on that flexible circuit technology and
produced a number of projects that take advantage of its unique applications.
His latest project, a foldable-PCB robot r ...
