3D printers are great at creating small objects – and some can even be pressed into doing larger things, such as cars – but a 3D printer able to print a full-sized house would have to be, well, bigger ...

You know what’s cooler than printing robot parts on a 3D printer? Printing the whole freaking robot. Scientists at Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence ...

It’s difficult to comprehend the boundless possibilities of 3D printing. It can make everything from guns to character costumes, and some even believe most people will have a 3D printer in their home ...

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 ...

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 ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. TJ McCue is Seattle-based and covers tech & productivity tools. The robots are coming. Of course, you knew that. There is a fair ...

In a breakthrough, scientists have developed a three-dimensional (3D) robot that can move forward or backward in a wave-like motion, allowing it to climb over obstacles, swim or crawl through unstable ...

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 ...
