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 ...

Princeton University researchers have developed a new 3D printed plastic material that is stretchable, flexible, and recyclable. Using thermoplastic elastomers and thermal annealing, the material can ...

Scientists Create Non-Electronic 3D-Printed Robot. Scientists in the United States have developed a walking robot that requires no electronics and can be produced entirely from a 3D printer. The robot ...

Roboticists have developed an ambulatory 3D-printed robot powered by compressed gas, an advance that could see robots operating in settings where electronics cannot function. This robot can walk, ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich, in collaboration with Inkbit 3D, have pioneered 3D printing of soft robots with artificial bones, ligaments, and tendons. 3D printing has advanced so rapidly that ...

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

We've seen cool 3D printers before, and we're definitely no strangers to robots, but this is the first 3D-printed soft robot we've ever seen capable of walking off its own assembly line. The robot was ...

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 run ...

Markus Nemitz, assistant professor at Tufts University, has a vision: he wants to use a 3D printer to print robots for their specific area of application. The robots will then perform their tasks ...
