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 ...

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 ...

University of California, Berkeley, has unveiled a new open-source, budget-friendly and customizable humanoid robot called Berkeley Humanoid Lite. The robot has been designed to make robotics research ...

When we think about robots, we think about complex electronic devices. We're conditioned to think about robots as sophisticated machines controlled by intricate programming and powered by advanced ...

There’s not much information about this commercial product, but it looks so interesting, we just had to share it. It doesn’t seem there is anything too magical happening here: some motors (presumably ...

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 ...

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 ...

Sonair is pushing towards a new sensor built on 3D ultrasonic technology, giving autonomous robotics the power to see and make the right decisions. Ralph W. Bernstein is the senior business developer ...
