The ElectroVoxel: MIT Scientists 3D Print Self-Reconfiguring Robotic Cubes
The term “robot” still tends to immediately conjure up imagery of blocky, metal men who speak in mechanical voices; or perhaps, otherwise, Westworld-esque, super sophisticated cyborgs, indistinguishable from naturally-occurring Homo…
MIT 3D Prints Objects with Lenticular Surfaces
When I was a kid, I really liked optical illusions. I think all kids do: they’re more or less the most basic element to any magic trick; and what kid…
3D Printed Touch Sensors Yield Feeling Future for Cybernetics
Around the middle of the twentieth century, America’s electronic communications infrastructure started to centralize around two newly-forming sciences — cybernetics and information theory — that are still fundamental to everything…
