It was just this March that we told you about a hexapod bot created at UC San Diego, which was 3D-printed in one continuous 58-hour step. That robot was powered not by a motor but by compressed ...

Researchers have created microscale robots less than 1 millimeter in size that are printed as a 2D hexagonal 'metasheet' but, with a jolt of electricity, morph into preprogrammed 3D shapes and crawl.

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.

Most of the 3D printed buildings in the world have been constructed in North America, but building codes have not kept up with the technology, making it challenging in some areas of the U.S.

Some researchers at Duke University say that you can get an affordable one soon with a text to a $300 3D printer. “We’re automating the robot design, so it’s robots making […] ...

I was reminded of that recently when I got a peek at how one of the leading manufacturers of industrial automation solutions uses 3D printing extensively to create its robots and end effectors ...

Robots are cool. Robots you build yourself are cooler, especially ones that use stuff you have lying around already. Snoopy is a new open-source robot that uses an Arduino as a brain but with a 3D … ...

The robot also has a servo-controlled arm for moving small objects. The robot lacks autonomy. Instead, [3D Sanago] gave it a wireless module so it could be commanded with a PS4 controller.

Home > Science Tiny 3D Printed Robot Uses Magnets to Fly The drone is roughly the size of a pencil eraser and needs no onboard battery to zip through the air.

Retooling robots on a line is costly, requiring custom orders from machine shops. Downtime for retooling can make smaller runs impractical. But in-house 3D printing offers a solution.

Scientists have developed a 3D-printed robotic hand which can play simple musical phrases on the piano by just moving its wrist. And while the robot is no virtuoso, it demonstrates just how ...
