Soft robots made out of flexible, biocompatible materials are in high demand in industries from health care to manufacturing, ...
Harvard engineers have developed a new 3D printing technique that allows soft robots to ...
The method, described in Advanced Materials, replaces the slow, multi-step molding and casting process that traditionally defines soft robotics. Researchers have figured out how to 3D-print ...
3D printing technology has come a long way throughout the years, and its vast potential in the field of robotics was even more materialized when it was recently used to develop chameleon-like robots.
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 ...
[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 ...
This article considers the application of additive manufacturing technology to the development of realistic gelatin eyes for use in the robotics industry. The field of robotics has progressed ...
Since its invention in the 1980s, 3D printing has steadily moved from research labs ...
Do you ever dream about work? The technicians at this 3D printing factory in Korea must have some weird dreams. Nightmares even, when they’re making human robot faces and hands for a living. But ...
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 ...
