When we think about robots, we think about complex electronic devices. We're conditioned to think about robots as sophisticated machines controlled by intricate programming and powered by advanced ...

Polish maker Nikodem Bartnik has created a robot head that can answer questions like an ancient Greek philosopher. The robot has a metal mask with 3D-printed moving eyes, LED lights behind its mouth, ...

China's ultra-fast, industrial-scale 3D printing firm is scaling flexible materials from shoes to humanoid robotics.

The idea of a single robot that can transform into three different machines sounds like science fiction, but it is already ...

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 ...

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 ...

An experimental new non-electronic bot, however, can be 3D-printed all in one piece, and it's powered by nothing but air. The soft-bodied robot was created by postdoctoral scholar Yichen Zhai and ...

Construction robots are no longer a far-off idea. They're already changing job sites by tackling repetitive, heavy, and often dangerous tasks. The latest robot comes from Australia, where a ...

A research team develops 3D-printed pneumatic logic modules that control the movements of soft robots using only air pressure. These modules enable logical switching of the air flow and can thus ...

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

FUTURE space colonists could live inside giant 3D-printed homes on the Moon and Mars – and we might already know what they’ll ...
