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 ...

On a dusty test site in Australia, a spider-like robot is quietly rewriting the rules of construction, extruding walls in ...

Over the past decades, robotic systems have been rapidly advancing, fueled by the continuous introduction of more advanced ...

3D printing is one of the most exciting revolutions to hit manufacturing in decades, but it’s not without its limitations. Perhaps the biggest of these is the fact that, unless you create an unusually ...

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 ...

There's a lot of talk about the promise 3D printing holds to transform manufacturing, but far less coverage of how the technology is actually being implemented in enterprise today. Aside from enabling ...

Imagine a future in which you could 3D-print an entire robot or stretchy, electronic medical device with the press of a button—no tedious hours spent assembling parts by hand. That possibility may be ...
