3D printing has advanced so rapidly that researchers have successfully been able to mimic bones, ligaments, and tendons into a robot hand. To achieve these Westworld-reminiscent results, a team of ...

Have you ever wondered why robots are unable to walk and move their bodies as fluidly as we do? Some robots can run, jump, or dance with greater efficiency than humans, but their body movements also ...

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 ...

MIT and ETH Zurich engineers 3D-printed robotic hands with realistic bones, ligaments, and tendons. The team used slow-curing polymers instead of the usual fast-curing ones to mimic muscle flexibility ...

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 ...

We don’t think twice about using our hands throughout the day for tasks that still thwart sophisticated robots—pouring coffee without spilling when half-awake, folding laundry without ripping delicate ...

Italy-based pioneer in large-format robotic 3D printing Caracol just raised a $40 million Series B round and is going all in on the United States. CEO Francesco De Stefano calls the U.S. the company’s ...

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 ...

Soft skin coverings and touch sensors have emerged as a promising feature for robots that are both safer and more intuitive for human interaction, but they are expensive and difficult to make. A ...
