Researchers in California have created an incredibly small robot that needs no battery or wired power supply to zip through ...

Perhaps that helped inspire the Harvard 3D printers that have various arrays ... The coolest, we think, is a little multi-legged robot that uses vacuum to ambulate across the bench.

Internals of 3D printed “print and fold” robot. [Image source: MIT CSAIL] Robot design traditionally separates the body geometry from the mechanics of the gait, but they both have a profound ...

Imagine a swarm of tiny robots ... a 3D printer within just a few hours, overcoming not only the cost barrier, but also shrinking the manufacturing timeline so that theoretically one could print ...

This innovative machine is powered by compressed gas and can be 3D-printed in a single process using just one material. According to its creators, the robot can literally "walk right off the 3D ...

Scientists at the Bioinspired Robotics Laboratory at the University of California San Diego (UC San Diego) have developed a robot that can be printed directly in one go using a 3D printer and can ...

Instead of using traditional hard parts like motors and wires, the entire robot is made from soft plastic material. One of ...

Most people likely think of robots as complex electronic devices, made up of many parts that have to be assembled in factories. An experimental new non-electronic bot, however, can be 3D-printed all ...

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 ...

Now there's a new robot, called the BeeHex, that can 3D-print any type of pizza. The inventors, largely hardware engineers, received a $125,000 grant from NASA to develop the device, cofounder ...
