When we think about robots, we think about complex electronic devices. We're conditioned to think about robots as sophisticated machines controlled by intricate programming and powered by advanced ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A 3D-printed robot head features remarkably intricate details that push the limits of design realism.

An experimental new non-electronic bot, however, can be 3D-printed all in one piece, and it's powered by nothing but air. The soft-bodied robot was created by postdoctoral scholar Yichen Zhai and ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. To call soft robotic hands “complex” is a bit of an ...

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 ...

FLUID, an open-source, 3D-printed robot, offers an affordable and customizable solution for automated material synthesis, making advanced research accessible to more scientists. A team of researchers ...
