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 ...
Scientists have created the first soft robots that can walk straight out of the machines that make them. The flexible, four-legged devices were developed using a new 3D printing system, which could ...
A joint research team led by Dr. Dong-Gyun Kim of the Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology (KRICT), Professor ...
Harvard engineers have developed a new 3D printing technique that allows soft robots to bend, twist, and change shape in predictable ways when inflated. The approach embeds shape-morphing behavior ...
A research team develops 3D-printed pneumatic logic modules that control the movements of soft robots using only air pressure. These modules enable logical switching of the air flow and can thus ...
Researchers at ETH Zurich and MIT created a multi-material 3D printed hand using a process invented to enable the innovation of soft robotics. (Thomas Buchner via Courthouse News Service) (CN) — To ...
A joint research team has developed the first 4D printing technology built from industrial ...
Engineers at Harvard University have developed a new method for 3D printing soft robots that can be powered and controlled when inflated. Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) ...
Soft skin coverings and touch sensors have emerged as a promising feature for robots that are both safer and more intuitive for human interaction, but they are expensive and difficult to make. A ...
An experimental new non-electronic bot, however, can be 3D-printed all in one piece, and it's powered by nothing but air. The soft-bodied robot was created by postdoctoral scholar Yichen Zhai and ...
(a) Schematic of the multi-material one-step printing process, demonstrating the sequential switching of three different resin tanks during printing to achieve composite structures in a single step.
A 3D printed hand, with hinges, before perfusion. Harvard engineers have developed a new 3D printing method for building soft robots that bend and change shape in predictable ways when inflated. The ...
