Soft robots made out of flexible, biocompatible materials are in high demand in industries from health care to manufacturing, ...

You know what’s cooler than printing robot parts on a 3D printer? Printing the whole freaking robot. Scientists at Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence ...

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 ...

The method, described in Advanced Materials, replaces the slow, multi-step molding and casting process that traditionally defines soft robotics. Researchers have figured out how to 3D-print ...

It’s difficult to comprehend the boundless possibilities of 3D printing. It can make everything from guns to character costumes, and some even believe most people will have a 3D printer in their home ...

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 ...

Since its invention in the 1980s, 3D printing has steadily moved from research labs ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. TJ McCue is Seattle-based and covers tech & productivity tools. The robots are coming. Of course, you knew that. There is a fair ...
