A paper crane that flaps its wings without a single motor inside it sounds like a magic trick. But engineers at Princeton ...

If you want to work with robots you can do all sorts of learning with software and simulation, but nothing quite beats ...

Researchers have demonstrated miniature soft hydraulic actuators that can be used to control the deformation and motion of soft robots that are less than a millimeter thick. The researchers have also ...

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 ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers from North Carolina State University have demonstrated miniature soft hydraulic actuators that can be used to control the deformation and motion of soft robots that are ...

A research team develops 3D-printed pneumatic logic modules that control the movements of soft robots using only air pressure. These modules enable logical switching of the air flow and can thus ...

Applications for 3D printing/additive manufacturing has grown by leaps and bounds over the past decade—particularly for its use to produce production- and assembly-ready parts, not just prototypes.

Worcester Polytechnic Institute researcher Markus Nemitz has received a $599,815 award from the National Science Foundation to advance the development of low-cost 3D-printed robots, fleets of which ...

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 ...

What would a space ER look like? Bio-inks, magnetic robots, and fungi-inspired tubes are just some of the futuristic options. By Tatyana Woodall Published Jul 25, 2023 9:00 AM EDT Add Popular Science ...
