Manufactured using digital light processing (DLP) additive techniques, the lattice serves as a bionic musculoskeletal ...

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

Embodying intelligence into materials requires engineering systems that can autonomously sense, adapt, and respond to environmental stimuli, similar to the dynamic behaviours of living organisms.

Soft skin coverings and touch sensors have emerged as a promising feature for robots that are both safer and more intuitive for human interaction, but they are expensive and difficult to make. A ...

Researchers from North Carolina State University have demonstrated miniature soft hydraulic actuators that can be used to control the deformation and motion of soft robots that are less than a ...

A team of roboticists at the University of California San Diego and BASF Corporation has developed a unique 3D-printed soft robotic gripper that operates without the need for electronics. So, how does ...

For the first time, researchers have succeeded in printing a robotic hand with bones, ligaments and tendons made of different polymers using a new laser scanning technique. The new technology makes it ...

As reported in the journal IEEE Transactions on Robotics, the 3D-printed pads function as both soft skin for a robotic arm and pressure-based mechanical sensors. The pads have airtight seals and ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Roboticists have long aimed to create machines capable of navigating complex environments and performing sophisticated tasks by replicating the remarkable adaptability and ...

The world of robotics may have taken a giant leap forward by planting a seedling with the creation of the first-ever 4D-printed seed robot - the I-Seed! Created by the brilliant minds at the Istituto ...
