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 ...

The robot can even get up and walk away from the printer, after an external motor and battery is added. The scientists' work on the walking and slightly creepy hexapod robot (and other 3D printed ...

This a robot 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.

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.

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 ...

A research team develops 3D-printed pneumatic logic modules that control the movements of soft robots using only air pressure. These modules enable logical switching of the air flow and can thus ...
