Mori3's triangular, modular design allows it to fuse with its companions, and could one day make it into space. By Andrew Paul Published Jun 13, 2023 10:00 AM EDT Get the Popular Science daily ...

It just got a little easier to create soft robots that adapt to the world around them. Rice University researchers have developed a 3D printing technique (they call it “4D”) for material that ...

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 ...

AI-generated 3D modeling belonged to research labs and Hollywood studios. Today, it’s seeping into classrooms, social media ...

When you imagine robots, you probably aren't picturing stretchy meshes that can float on water, but that's exactly what researchers at North Carolina State University have developed. These soft ...

A team of students at California College of the Arts (CCA) in San Francisco has developed autonomous, mobile 3D printing robots that could some day be put to work building in outlying areas. The ...

Robots suck at picking things up. Even in industrial environments—where picking robots are fitted with various types of grippers to maneuver objects, like cans, on an assembly line—they cannot ...

One of humankind's most important senses for navigating our world is our ability to see in three dimensions (3D), so it makes sense to give our robots the same capability. But how we see may or may ...

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 ...
