Kim explained, "Tactile robotic sensors usually contain very complicated arrays of electronics ... with the robot interpreting touches and taps as instructions. Since 3D-printed parts are ...

Robots could see with 3D vision thanks to a lensless camera that uses new image processing algorithms to capture information about objects in a scene in a single exposure. Weijian Yang, PhD, and Feng ...

A new open-source, 3D-printed robot is set to transform how researchers conduct material synthesis. Known as FLUID (Flowing Liquid Utilizing Interactive Device), the affordable and fully ...

Researchers claim the new 3D mapping approach is, in some cases, 57 percent more efficient than leading methods in the industry. Delivery robots are increasingly becoming common, as they ...

Sonair’s 3D ultrasonic sensor uses acoustic detection and ranging (ADAR) to enable 360° obstacle detection up to 5 meters. Each ADAR sensor offers a 180×180° field of view, allowing autonomous mobile ...

Maker Marcin Płomiński and his colleague, who works under the pseudonym “Minco0”, have developed the semi-humanoid robot Axon, which can be produced by anyone using 3D printing. The robot ...

That’s the idea behind MobiPrint, a mobile 3D printing robot developed by Daniel Campos Zamora at the University of Washington. This innovative device autonomously navigates a room, printing ...
