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 ...

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

Researchers have developed a new 3D printing technique that creates paper-thin ‘magnetic muscles’ capable of bringing origami structures to life to deliver medicine inside the body. A crawler robot ...

Scientists have discovered how to build robots out of rice paper, opening up brand new possibilities for robotic applications. A team from the University of Bristol discovered that the same ingredient ...

In October, a student presented a robotic hand made entirely from LEGOs at the 2025 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems in Hangzhou, China. But Jared Lepora isn’t in ...

[Huaishu Peng] and a group of other researchers have come up with a system that allows them to use virtual reality (VR) to model an object in a space in front of them while a robot simultaneously 3D ...

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 ...

Imagine you could use a standard 3D printer to create your next robotic assistant. Just snap in a motor and battery, and it’s ready to go. That’s precisely the scenario made possible by a new 3D ...
