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 ...

[Huaishu Peng] and a group of other researchers have come up with a system that allows them to use virtual reality (VR) to model an object in a space in front of them while a robot simultaneously 3D ...

In the 1980s when micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) were first created, computer engineers were excited by the idea ...

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 effect ...

A giant robot can now 3D print a building. Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have created a robotic system that built the basic structure of a building in less than 14 hours.

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 ...

Charlotte, a spider-like 3D printing robot, was developed jointly by Australian companies Crest Robotics and Earthbuilt ...

A Jacksonville-based company says its new portable 3D construction robot could help lower homebuilding costs and make housing ...

NASA’s 3D-Printed Habitat Challenge asked engineers to develop ways to build on the Moon, Mars or beyond. NASA’s Tony Kim said now it’s time to design ways for autonomous machines to construct ...

With 3D printing slowly coming into its own, researchers at MIT have conceived a way for robots to do much of the heavy lifting when constructing a building. MIT researchers published a paper in the ...

An international team of engineers have taken 3D printing to a whole new level by designing a fleet of drones that can build structures while in flight, unlocking new approaches to construction in ...

A team of researchers from North Carolina State University has created a new 3D-printing method that builds paper-thin ...
