The experimental 3D printer at the University of Nottingham adds a six-axis robotic arm to their printer head, which allows for a few interesting enhancements.

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.

Vietnamese scientists at Australia's University of New South Wales have invented a mini robot arm capable of 3D printing biomaterial directly within a person's body. The research group from the ...

While roughly no one would consider using a sophisticated robot to stir the soup in the pot, Huenit’s multi-functional device can easily do that too. But it would be a waste to only use it for such ...

Engineers have developed a flexible robot that enters the rectum to 3D print living cells on damaged organs, eliminating the need for patients to 'go under the knife.' The University of South Wales ...

A 3D printer is really a specialized form of robot. Sure, it isn’t exactly Data from Star Trek, but it isn’t too far from many industrial robots. Researchers from Meiji University made the ...

RIC Technology has launched the RIC-Primus, a 3D robot printer for the construction industry that can print up to three-storey structures up to 9.7 m high. Compared to its predecessor, the RIC-M1 Pro, ...

While there are many potential uses for soft-bodied robots, the things are still typically only built in small experimental batches. Scottish scientists are out to change that, with a ...

Among the more than 8,000 lb (3,600 kg) of cargo that blasted off from Cape Canaveral on the 30th of January, bound for the International Space Station, were two firsts: the world’s first metal 3D ...
