Robots have a tremendous potential, but if a way can't be found to manufacture them quickly, cheaply, and in large numbers, that potential may remain exactly that. To that end, MIT's Computer Science ...

Though the sky has always been the limit regarding the innovation and advancement of 3D printing, a group of researchers at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab may have pushed that ...

InMoov is an open-source DIY printable robot that can obey voice commands. It's slightly creepy, but at least it's cheap. Crave freelancer Tim Hornyak is the author of "Loving the Machine: The Art and ...

It might soon be relatively trivial to make soft robots — at least, if you have a 3D printer handy. UC San Diego researchers have devised a way to 3D-print insect-like flexible robots cheaply, quickly ...

3D-printable robot uses air to power its legs for movement. The robot shell is created as one piece for easy assembly with minimal steps. It's cost-effective with no electronics needed, allowing it to ...

MIT researchers describe how to 3D print "dynamic robots in a single step, with no assembly required." I'm PCMag's managing editor for consumer electronics, overseeing an experienced team of analysts ...

There's a lot of talk about the promise 3D printing holds to transform manufacturing, but far less coverage of how the technology is actually being implemented in enterprise today. Aside from enabling ...

It sounds like something out of a science fiction movie like "Blade Runner." But researchers at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) have developed a new 3D printing ...

MIT CSAIL researchers have developed a new way to 3D-print robots which make the devices less prone to damage -- by giving them soft skins. These days, robots are used in many critical areas -- ...

Meet Plen2, an adorably cute humanoid robot that’s small enough to stand on your desk. This bot can bust a few moves, such as dancing, carrying small objects and even copying human movements (when ...

The U.S. Army Research Laboratory has teamed up with the University of Minnesota to explore the wonders of soft robots. The teams have published a study describing their findings as they look to build ...

Robots will need to pave the way to Mars before we humans go, but what if they fall apart? Researchers from the University of Oslo have designed bots that can adapt to unforeseen problems and even ...
