Researchers at Seoul National University of Science and Technology (SEOULTECH) have developed porous 3D-printed ...

Four-legged robots are becoming more common in jobs that are difficult or dangerous for people, including search-and-rescue ...

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 ...

Princeton engineers reported on March 20 in Advanced Functional Materials that they built a soft-rigid hybrid robot ...

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 ...

Legged robots require a lot of energy when walking. Porous footpads are intended to make the locomotion of robot dogs more ...

A fully 3D-printed walking robot made from a single material and powered by compressed gas works without electronics or external control systems. (Nanowerk News) Imagine a robot that can walk, without ...

As the saying goes — when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. When life gives you a two-ton surplus industrial robot arm, if you’re [Brian Brocken], you apparently make a massive 3D printer. The ...

A cheetah’s powerful sprint, a snake’s lithe slither, or a human’s deft grasp: each is made possible by the seamless interplay between soft and rigid tissues. Muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bones ...

With the fast-developing 3D printing technology, we are now able to construct houses much faster and cheaper. But is that enough to tackle the ongoing housing shortage? Across the whole Western world, ...

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 ...
