Starting with a 3D animated model that walks with the same exaggerated gait and motion as a cartoon character, the researchers 3D printed the robot’s leg components to match the structure of the ...

3D, in all its forms, is integral to many, if not all, of their efforts. Philip Walker, from Transcend Robotics, is one such example: He is an entrepreneur building a robot that can climb stairs.

Some animated characters, it turns out, walk so goofily they defy the laws of physics. That poses a big challenge for Disney (DIS) researchers who are building character robots that could mimic ...

This approach, introduced in a paper published in Science Robotics, relies on a three-dimensional (3D) printing strategy that employs a newly formulated gel.

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.

The partnership between CodeBaby and Robots of London will allow Robots of London to add interactive 3D characters to its suite of products.

Using the modified 3D printer the researchers were able to create a six-legged robot insect that could crawl under the power of 12 hydraulic pumps inside it.

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 ...

Sonair is using the 3D ultrasound sensors exclusively licenced from MiNaLab to enable autonomous robots to see and make the right decisions.

Robots will also be able to 3D model free space to position objects without collision in constrained environments. PIXMAP is just the latest entry in a new category of affordable 3D sensing.
