Tired of watching cool robotics projects online and feeling like they’re out of your reach? You’re not alone. Many enthusiasts face the challenge of turning their tech dreams into reality. But what if ...

If you want to work with robots you can do all sorts of learning with software and simulation, but nothing quite beats getting to grips with real machinery. That was the motivation for [James Gullberg ...

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 ...

This a robot 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. Imagine a robot ...

The day is coming when you may walk past a robot and have no idea it was a robot. Over years of engineering, we've given robots skeletons, brains, senses, and even a nervous system. Muscles have ...

Several research groups across the United States and Europe have demonstrated that 3D-printed artificial muscles can replicate biological movements such as contracting, twisting, and lifting, bringing ...

FLUID, an open-source, 3D-printed robot, offers an affordable and customizable solution for automated material synthesis, making advanced research accessible to more scientists. FLUID, an open-source, ...

A 3D printed hand, with hinges, before perfusion. Harvard engineers have developed a new 3D printing method for building soft robots that bend and change shape in predictable ways when inflated. The ...

A $2,500 pair of humanoid robot legs built from 3D-printed parts and off-the-shelf components is not going to win marathons just yet. But such relatively inexpensive hardware could enable researchers ...

This robot can walk, without electronics, and only with the addition of a cartridge of compressed gas, right off the 3D-printer. Imagine a robot that can walk, without electronics, and only with the ...
