We've seen cool 3D printers before, and we're definitely no strangers to robots, but this is the first 3D-printed soft robot we've ever seen capable of walking off its own assembly line. The robot was ...

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 ...

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 ...

This article is presented to you by America’s Greatest Makers, airing on TBS Tuesday, April 5, at 9 PM ET/PT. In a world where $5 computers and custom 3D-printed hardware are commonplace, it's no ...

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 ...

What if your childhood Tamagotchi could step off the screen and into the real world? Imagine a tiny robot, complete with blinking eyes and lifelike movements, responding to your voice and following ...

(WGHP) — If you wanted a robot to do mundane tasks for you, where would you go to find the expertise to get one? Some researchers at Duke University say that you can get an affordable one soon with 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 ...
