Researchers have created a robot with a 3D printed body that transitions from a rigid core to a soft exterior and is capable of more than 30 untethered jumps, powered by a mix of butane and oxygen ...

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

Embodying intelligence into materials requires engineering systems that can autonomously sense, adapt, and respond to environmental stimuli, similar to the dynamic behaviours of living organisms.

Scientists at the Bioinspired Robotics Laboratory at the University of California San Diego (UC San Diego) have developed a robot that can be printed directly in one go using a 3D printer and can run ...

Advanced 3D printing techniques create flexible origami robots with high magnetic responsiveness, paving the way for ...

Researchers from North Carolina State University have demonstrated miniature soft hydraulic actuators that can be used to control the deformation and motion of soft robots that are less than a ...

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 ...

A team of biomechanical engineers and surgeons has created a 3D-printing soft robot that could transform vocal cord surgery.

The first soft robots that can walk from the machines that make them have been built using Flex Printer, a new 3D printing system developed at Edinburgh University. Soft machines are made from ...
