The elephant has been built to demonstrate a cutting-edge bioinspired 3D printing technology that could be the future of robotics - opening up a world of possibilities ...

A cute robot elephant could be the future of robotics. The scaled-down jumbo has been built to demonstrate a cutting-edge ...

Modular design is rapidly becoming the key to cost-effective automation, especially in sectors where demand variability and ...

Engineers at EPFL have developed a programmable foam lattice that blends softness and rigidity across a robot’s body. Inspired by the musculoskeletal system of animals, the new design enables robots ...

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 ...

Creating a 3D shape design from free-hand sketches is a challenging task due to the sparse and ambiguous information from sketches. In this work, we propose DualShape, a sketch-based 3D shape design ...

It is often desirable for humanoid robots to have dexterous hands and perform human-like grasps. This requires a deliberate design of hands, in addition to a good actuation system and an efficient 3D ...

Kumiko is a form of Japanese woodworking that uses small cuts of wood (probably offcuts) to produce artful designs. It’s the kind of thing that takes zen-like patience to assemble, and years … ...
