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 ...

Goodbye, clunky metal robots. A neat new ‘bot from a German robotics design studio is a DIY affair that lets any Maker with an X-Acto knife slap together a programmable, moving machine. ZURI’s ...

ZURI is a programmable robot made from paper and grey cardboard. This motion machine, conceived of as a kit, can be assembled with a few tools (cutter, ruler, cutting mat, bone folder, glue and ...

It can function as a 3D printer, a laser engraver and cutter, a pen plotter, and a multipurpose AI assistant robot that might make you feel like Tony Stark chatting with JARVIS.

The play — the process of building the robot — lasts about 90 minutes, and in that time students use engineering principles that are typically taught in college.

If you wanted a robot to do mundane tasks for you, where would you go to find the expertise to get one? Some researchers at ...

The design also allows the boxes to be made in a variety of sizes without changing any of the 3D printed parts. Carefully measured and cut cardboard is critical, but that’s nothing a utility ...
