It sounds like something out of a science fiction movie like "Blade Runner." But researchers at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) have developed a new 3D printing ...

Robots have a tremendous potential, but if a way can't be found to manufacture them quickly, cheaply, and in large numbers, that potential may remain exactly that. To that end, MIT's Computer Science ...

Though the sky has always been the limit regarding the innovation and advancement of 3D printing, a group of researchers at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab may have pushed that ...

A team of researchers from North Carolina State University has created a new 3D-printing method that builds paper-thin ...

Meet Plen2, an adorably cute humanoid robot that’s small enough to stand on your desk. This bot can bust a few moves, such as dancing, carrying small objects and even copying human movements (when ...

3D-printable robot uses air to power its legs for movement. The robot shell is created as one piece for easy assembly with minimal steps. It's cost-effective with no electronics needed, allowing it to ...

It might soon be relatively trivial to make soft robots — at least, if you have a 3D printer handy. UC San Diego researchers have devised a way to 3D-print insect-like flexible robots cheaply, quickly ...

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 effect ...

InMoov is an open-source DIY printable robot that can obey voice commands. It's slightly creepy, but at least it's cheap. Crave freelancer Tim Hornyak is the author of "Loving the Machine: The Art and ...

3D printers are great at creating small objects – and some can even be pressed into doing larger things, such as cars – but a 3D printer able to print a full-sized house would have to be, well, bigger ...

Robots will need to pave the way to Mars before we humans go, but what if they fall apart? Researchers from the University of Oslo have designed bots that can adapt to unforeseen problems and even ...
