In recent years the development of the robot using the paper advances. However, most paper robots cut and bring it down from paper and produce it. Then other parts which are not used are thrown away. Besides it is difficult to attach many motors even if we produce a paper robot, and to move it. Therefore we produce a robot using the origami which made use of a paper original characteristic, we control operation of the origami by vibration when excitation frequency of the vibration motor and a natural frequency of the origami performed resonance of movement. In this study in consideration of stability with the crab-shaped origami of four legs, with two origami robots of the thing which changed the shape of the leg and the thing which we do not change, we inspected what kind of change was seen in movement by the change of the shape. As a result, it does not work other than a certain constant vibration and, when excitation frequency of the motor and a natural frequency of the origami perform resonance, it can move all directions, when a shape changed, it usually did resonance different from time, and the movement changed. Based upon the foregoing, it can change form phantasmagorically because the origami was made with paper. If excitation frequency and the natural frequency of the vibration motor to use for an origami robot are equal, even origami different in form showed the possibility that we could recycle a motor.
