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 ...

Engineers have developed a new soft magnetic hydrogel that can be 3D-printed into microscopic structures.

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 ...

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 ...

This a robot 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. Imagine a robot ...

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 ...

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 ...

If you've got a 3D printer, a Raspberry Pi, and just a little bit of technical know-how, you can make some truly spectacular ...

(Nanowerk News) On the third floor of the Department of Informatics there is a robotics laboratory which looks like a playroom This is where researchers are testing how their robots can figure out how ...

These days, 3D printing is never far from the public eye. Its vast and imaginative array of applications is constantly growing, from life-saving medical implants to life-ending firearms. Now, ...

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 ...
