The Arduino has long been a staple of the maker community. Longer than 3D printing has been as popular as it is, in fact. So, ...

Robots are cool. Robots you build yourself are cooler, especially ones that use stuff you have lying around already. Snoopy is a new open-source robot that uses an Arduino as a brain but with a 3D ...

One of the side effects of the rise of 3D printers has been the increased availability and low cost of 3D printer components, which are use fill for range of applications. [How To Mechatronics] ...

Imagine a robot that can walk, without electronics, and only with the addition of a cartridge of compressed gas, right off the 3D-printer. It can also be printed in one go, from one material. That is ...

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 ...

It might soon be relatively trivial to make soft robots — at least, if you have a 3D printer handy. UC San Diego researchers have devised a way to 3D-print insect-like flexible robots cheaply, quickly ...

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 ...

In the 1980s when micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) were first created, computer engineers were excited by the idea ...

A Jacksonville-based company says its new portable 3D construction robot could help lower homebuilding costs and make housing ...
