3d printed robotics

Every cloud of a failed project has the silver lining on a new idea, right? And it’s good to learn this early. 13-year-old Aidan Leitch, who goes by XYZAidan and…

Many of us are incredibly reliant on our electronics to do everything for us. If we could have personal robots brushing our teeth (probably not a stretch) and driving to…

As annual passholders to Disney, my family and I spend many weekends there getting more than our money’s worth of fun–as well as deep inspiration. While I lumber in the…

Don’t blink or you’ll miss it – and if you feel your skin crawl at just the thought of the darting of insects, you might be happy that you did….

Hengjiu Kang, Yi Lu, and Yunan Song are students at the University of California Davis, juniors and seniors with a mighty impressive list of career-starting projects and internships. Kang is a…

Fish as pets are satisfying to us as we can create an entire ecosystem and watch them thrive under our nurturing. In the home, we can day in and day…

There’s some serious creative energy going on in Turkey as new and up-and-coming generations become engaged and dedicated to the maker movement. The founders of many of these startups aren’t…

Over the past year or so, we have covered stories involving the 3D printing of dozens of different robots. Robotics and 3D printing seem to go together like peanut butter…

The future of robotics is one which many people love to dream about. This has been going on for decades, as we move closer and closer to a day when…

The combination of 3D printing and electronics often leads to technological marvels on all levels, and certainly allows today’s makers a wide range of latitude — along with functionality and…

Taking all those sci-fi stories of robot armies to the next — and more realistic level — Festo has created one on the formicidae level with the BionicANTS, as well as…

We’ve said it once and we will say it again and again: “3D printing and robotics are meant for each other.” The two technologies go hand in hand, with 3D…

I have said it once, and I’ll say it again. 3D printing and robots will continue their inevitable convergence, leading to completely custom robots which can perform virtually any human-like…

As humans, and especially Americans in general, we like to come out big and bold with concepts, products, and splashy success that gets painted all over the headlines. That’s what…

There have been a few notable projects intent on developing affordable and open-source robotic hands, but when Yale University takes on the problem, you can expect some startling results and…

He sees. He listens. He understands. With a Kickstarter campaign hoping to raise $10K, and halfway through its launch, the XLR-ONE Personal Robot Companion is gaining ground toward fruition steadily…

The ORIGIBOT, a fully robotic platform which connects with an Android tablet or phone via a free app built by Origin Robotics, Inc., is “a complete telepresence solution.” So what…

Imagine a reality of 3D printing robots, in a community unto themselves, diligently working in unpredictable temperatures and conditions, strong and steady — just taking care of business. Efficiently. Perfectly….

Carter Hurd has been building robots since he was in middle school. His experience and passion for tinkering with and building out complete electronic devices has only grown, and he…

A research team at the Robotics and Intelligent Systems laboratory at the University of Oslo’s Department of Informatics is in the process of designing and programming 3D printed robots that…

Robots and science fiction fantasy have gone hand in hand throughout the years, with most of our connections to robots coming from a classic movie or TV show. An aspiration of man…

When I sit down and think of where humanity is going, I see a world afflicted by wars, religious intolerance, and political unrest. There are terrible things going on all…

Imagine a time when we have robotics which are able to move like human beings, with actual movements which are dictated by muscles similar to our own. Imagine a time…

There is little doubt in my mind that one day, probably not very far off, we will all have the ability to 3D print robotics and other forms of machinery…
