While there are many potential uses for soft-bodied robots, the things are still typically only built in small experimental batches. Scottish scientists are out to change that, with a ...

Researchers in California have created an incredibly small robot that needs no battery or wired power supply to zip through the air. Instead, it uses magnets to fly. A magnetic field produced by an ...

Imagine a robot that can walk, without electronics, and only with the addition of a cartridge of compressed gas, right off the 3D-printer. It can also be printed in one go, from one material. That is ...

A new study has found a way to leverage this technology to create 3D-printed metal structures 20 times stronger than those made by traditional methods.

Engineers at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) have reimagined what it means to 3D print metal. Instead of ...

What would a space ER look like? Bio-inks, magnetic robots, and fungi-inspired tubes are just some of the futuristic options. By Tatyana Woodall Published Jul 25 ...

In a significant step forward for sustainable robotics, a fully 3D-printed autonomous logistics robot has been unveiled by a European tech collaboration. The off-road robot—manufactured entirely from ...

Rapid Robotics uses Markforged 3D printers to produce custom tooling and grippers within 12 hours. Rapid Robotics' robots featuring custom grippers for printed circuit board assembly. Applications for ...

Imagine a cocktail party full of 3D-printed, humanoid robots listening and talking to each other. That seemingly sci-fi scene is the goal of an augmented listening laboratory. With precise control ...

Scientists at EPFL have reimagined 3D printing by turning simple hydrogels into tough metals and ceramics. Their process ...

Researchers have unveiled a miniature robot elephant with special 3D-printed "tissues" that allow for more complex and natural movements. A video shows the elephant grasp a flower with its trunk and ...
