Fully 3D-printed and controlled via a locally run large language model (LLM) chatbot, the robot can be assembled for as little as $70, including all materials, electronics, and power supply.

Rethinking 3D printing for robots In a VCJ system, along with a 3D printer , there is a 3D laser scanner that visually inspects each layer for surface irregularities as it’s deposited.

According to Boyuan Chen, assistant professor across multiple departments at Duke, including Mechanical ... to-3D generative module, which constructs a preliminary digital model of the robot ...

Nvidia just unveiled its new generative AI model, dubbed Latte3D, during GTC 2024. Latte3D appears to be ChatGPT on extreme steroids. I's a text-to-3D model that accepts simple, short text prompts ...

Engineers have developed a new design strategy and 3D printing technique to build robots in one single step. The breakthrough enabled the entire mechanical and electronic systems needed to operate ...

A fully 3D-printed, air-powered hexapod robot waddles across land and underwater ... in the lab of Prof. Michael Tolley at UC San Diego's Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering.

But MX3D's robots aren't anything like desktop 3D printers. The bots look like giant mechanical arms that end in a torchlike apparatus. Instead of printing objects inside a box, the bots build ...

Powered by a proprietary software program, the mechanical arms follow 3D layout models to maneuver wood planks and bind them into customized panels.

Mobile robots carrying sensors and 3D systems are increasingly used to scan facilities and collect data that can be used to build 3D models of the site. “One of the very urgent objectives right now ...
