The only things humans automatically do when it’s hot out are 1. complain and 2. turn on the A/C. We also sweat a lot. It’s far from impressive. A team at MIT is ensuring that robots wi… ...

Assembling a future robot could be as simple as heating it up. Two new studies demonstrate how 3D-printed robots could fold into shape and assemble themselves after being exposed to heat.

This results in a robot that can be 3D printed in around 22 hours, requires no assembly, and practically has no electronics. It does require a battery and a DC motor, the latter for turning a ...

To make the robot, a 3D printer used a printing method that combines solid and fluid elements organized as support, flexible, rigid, and liquid from the bottom up.

Researchers have unveiled a miniature robot elephant with special 3D-printed "tissues" that allow for more complex and natural movements. A video shows the elephant grasp a flower with its trunk and ...

A cheetah's powerful sprint, a snake's lithe slither, or a human's deft grasp: Each is made possible by the seamless ...

3D printers make it possible to create sophisticated robots and other objects. "The explanation is that a 3D printer will construct whatever you want it to, layer by layer.

What's so special about a robot finger made out of gelatin and sugar? It's cheap, easy to source, squishy and adaptable, biodegradable, and quick to 3D print. That's quite a long list of benefits.
