A paper crane that flaps its wings without a single motor inside it sounds like a magic trick. But engineers at Princeton ...

Engineers at Princeton University have built a new class of soft robots that move ...

So the waste problem in 3D printing is really a chemistry problem. Once these materials harden, they’re locked into their ...

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 ...

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 ...

With their ability to shapeshift and manipulate delicate objects, soft robots could work as medical implants, deliver drugs ...

Your average 3D printer is just a nozzle shooting out hot plastic while being moved around by a precise robotic mechanism. There’s nothing stopping you replacing the robot and moving around the ...

Three soft robotics researchers from Fondazione Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia in Italy and the University of Montpellier in France have developed a unique snake-like robot that 3D prints its own ...

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 ...

What would a space ER look like? Bio-inks, magnetic robots, and fungi-inspired tubes are just some of the futuristic options. By Tatyana Woodall Published Jul 25, 2023 9:00 AM EDT Add Popular Science ...

Applications for 3D printing/additive manufacturing has grown by leaps and bounds over the past decade—particularly for its use to produce production- and assembly-ready parts, not just prototypes.
