MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab (CSAIL) has come up with a new way to make soft, hydraulically-powered robots in one step using commercial 3D printers that can print solid ...

It’s a 3D printed robot and controller that’s the closest you can get to, ‘the Lego of robots’. All you need to do is plug some wheels into a controller and you’re off to the races.

A research team develops 3D-printed pneumatic logic modules that control the movements of soft robots using only air pressure. These modules enable logical switching of the air flow and can thus ...

As an undergraduate student, Yufeng Chi (B.S.'23 EECS) was captivated by humanoid and legged robots. Eager to learn more, he ...

3D-printed soft robots, biomimetic designs, distributed sensing, actuation and control, autonomous soft systems, distributed power solutions, manufacturing approaches like in-situ repair and ...

Another key factor that led Rapid Robotics, which provides robots-as-a-service to small and medium-sized manufacturers, to 3D print its end of arm tools is the diversity of its customer base. The ...

The synergy between robotics and 3D printing can extend beyond traditional applications. Robots themselves can act as 3D printers, expanding the scope of additive manufacturing. In large-scale 3D ...

Tiny 3D Printed Robot Uses Magnets to Fly. The drone is roughly the size of a pencil eraser and needs no onboard battery to zip through the air.

Scientists have achieved a breakthrough in soft robotics, creating four-legged robots capable of walking immediately after being 3D-printed. This innovation utilizes a novel upside-down printing ...

Researchers at the University of San Diego, California, have developed a next-gen 3D-printed robot powered by compressed gas. In research published in late January, the cost-effective bots make ...

“As an example of more complex control systems, we have also developed an electronics-free drinks dispenser.” Reference: Conrad S, Teichmann J, Auth P, et al. 3D-printed digital pneumatic logic for ...
