The University of Edinburgh has shared a 3D-printed "soft robot" made by a team of theirs who claim it can walk off the machine that made it.

A team of roboticists has developed a unique 3D-printed soft robotic gripper that operates without the need for electronics.

As reported in the journal IEEE Transactions on Robotics, the 3D-printed pads function as both soft skin for a robotic arm and pressure-based mechanical sensors.

The I-Seed is a 4D-printed robot, meaning it was created using 3D printing technology, but it can alter its shape and properties when exposed to environmental stimuli like light and temperature.

Researchers have created a 4D printed soft robot that can crawl and dance using only changes in temperature, offering potential advancements in sustainable, autonomous robotics.

3D-printed soft robots, biomimetic designs, distributed sensing, actuation and control, autonomous soft systems, distributed power solutions, manufacturing approaches like in-situ repair and ...

Researchers have demonstrated miniature soft hydraulic actuators that can be used to control the deformation and motion of soft robots that are less than a millimeter thick. The researchers have ...

Italian researchers have created a novel 4D-printed biodegradable soft robot shaped like a seed that changes shape in response to changes in humidity and can navigate through the soil. The device ...

A robot arm guides a concrete extruder in a precise pattern, demonstrating 3D printing in concrete. The City of Nome, Penn State University and its spin-off business X-Hab 3D are partnering on a ...
