Leiden researchers Professor Daniela Kraft and Mengshi Wei have created microscopic robots that move without sensors, ...

They are only a few tens of micrometres long - far smaller than the width of a human hair - yet these robots can swim, sense, navigate and adapt in ...

Several research groups across the United States and Europe have demonstrated that 3D-printed artificial muscles can ...

Scientists have achieved a breakthrough in soft robotics, creating four-legged robots capable of walking immediately after being 3D-printed. This innovation utilizes a novel upside-down printing ...

FILDZ Research founder Edgaras Janušauskas explains how 3D-printed film could push the limits of FDM and enable printable ...

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 ...

Eleanor has an undergraduate degree in zoology from the University of Reading and a master’s in wildlife documentary production from the University of Salford. Eleanor has an undergraduate degree in ...

A spinning 3D printer nozzle creates soft robots with built-in air channels that bend in programmed directions, turning flat printed structures into grippers and shape-shifting devices. (Nanowerk ...
