Internals of 3D printed “print and fold” robot. [Image source: MIT CSAIL] Robot design traditionally separates the body geometry from the mechanics of the gait, but they both have a profound effect ...

[Huaishu Peng] and a group of other researchers have come up with a system that allows them to use virtual reality (VR) to model an object in a space in front of them while a robot simultaneously 3D ...

Researchers have developed a new 3D printing technique that creates paper-thin ‘magnetic muscles’ capable of bringing origami structures to life to deliver medicine inside the body. A crawler robot ...

When it comes to tasks like the exploration of unstructured environments, traditional robots may be stymied by obstacles such as uncrossable gaps. That's where the FiloBot comes in, as it grows like a ...

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 ...

(a) Schematic of the multi-material one-step printing process, demonstrating the sequential switching of three different resin tanks during printing to achieve composite structures in a single step.
