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 ...
A new open-source humanoid robot, ALANA, is attracting attention in the maker community for its affordability and functionality. Designed by Shashwat Batish, ALANA is a life-size robot with movable ...
A paper crane that flaps its wings without a single motor inside it sounds like a magic trick. But engineers at Princeton ...
Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. University of California, Berkeley, has unveiled a new open-source, budget-friendly and customizable humanoid robot called ...
Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. When we think about robots, we think about complex electronic devices. We're conditioned to think about robots as sophisticated ...
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 ...
Four of the General Robotics Lab's 3D-printed walking robots. They're all based on different animals. A team of researchers at Duke University have invented a program that uses written prompts to ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
If you want to work with robots you can do all sorts of learning with software and simulation, but nothing quite beats getting to grips with real machinery. That was the motivation for [James Gullberg ...
