On a dusty test site in Australia, a spider-like robot is quietly rewriting the rules of construction, extruding walls in looping arcs instead of stacking bricks by hand. The same technology that lets ...

Soft robots made out of flexible, biocompatible materials are in high demand in industries from health care to manufacturing, ...

Four of the General Robotics Lab's 3D-printed walking robots. They're all based on different animals. A team of researchers at Duke University have invented a program that uses written prompts to ...

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 ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. When we think about robots, we think about complex electronic devices. We're conditioned to think about robots as sophisticated ...

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 ...

Imagine a robot that can walk, without electronics, and only with the addition of a cartridge of compressed gas, right off the 3D-printer. It can also be printed in one go, from one material. That is ...

Developers in Georgetown, Texas are using robot 3D-printing technology to fight the housing shortage, creating the world’s largest 3D-printed neighborhood. Called Wolf Ranch, the community of three- ...

This a robot can walk, without electronics, and only with the addition of a cartridge of compressed gas, right off the 3D-printer. It can also be printed in one go, from one material. Imagine a robot ...
