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 ...

An experimental new non-electronic bot, however, can be 3D-printed all in one piece, and it's powered by nothing but air. The soft-bodied robot was created by postdoctoral scholar Yichen Zhai and ...

When we think about robots, we think about complex electronic devices. We're conditioned to think about robots as sophisticated machines controlled by intricate programming and powered by advanced ...

Researchers have developed a low-cost humanoid robot designed to make robotic hardware more accessible to enthusiasts, researchers, and developers. Called the Berkeley Humanoid Lite, the open-source ...

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. That is ...

Researchers in California have created an incredibly small robot that needs no battery or wired power supply to zip through the air. Instead, it uses magnets to fly. A magnetic field produced by an ...

With the fast-developing 3D printing technology, we are now able to construct houses much faster and cheaper. But is that enough to tackle the ongoing housing shortage? Across the whole Western world, ...

Robots that enthusiasts could build for under $500, and that are smart enough to walk off the 3D printer that formed them, have been demonstrated by a team at the University of Edinburgh. The team of ...

Robot vacuums quietly patrol floors as anonymous discs, efficient but a little eerie, especially for kids and pets who aren’t quite sure what to make of a machine that roams around on its own. They ...

A robot is using additive manufacturing technology to print houses. Just a few years ago, that thought would seem ludicrous. Yet 3D printing in construction by robots has become a regular feature in ...
