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 ...

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 ...

On a dusty test site in Australia, a spider-like robot is quietly rewriting the rules of construction, extruding walls in looping arcs instead of stacking bricks by hand. The same technology that lets ...

Soft skin coverings and touch sensors have emerged as a promising feature for robots that are both safer and more intuitive for human interaction, but they are expensive and difficult to make. A ...

Developers in Georgetown, Texas are using robot 3D-printing technology to fight the housing shortage, creating the world’s largest 3D-printed neighborhood. Called Wolf Ranch, the community of three- ...

Four of the General Robotics Lab's 3D-printed walking robots. They're all based on different animals. A team of researchers at Duke University have invented a program that uses written prompts to ...

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 ...

Recent technological advances have opened new possibilities for the development of advanced medical devices, including tiny robots that can safely move inside the human body. Some of these systems ...

Professor Boyuan Chen poses with some of his 3D printed robots that were designed and built through his new platform called Text2Robot that allows people to simply tell a computer what kind of robot ...

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 ...

After vocal cord surgery, many patients develop stiff vocal folds that impact their ability to speak. Hydrogels can help prevent this by promoting healing, but delivering hydrogels to the vocal cords ...
