3D-printed designs are usually limited to fast-drying polymers, but a new method enables wild, soft robotic possibilities.

A team from ETH Zurich and MIT adapted the traditional 3D inkjet printing process to make multi-material models in a single pass. The method has proven ideal for creating pliable and elastic ...

A team of roboticists has developed a unique 3D-printed soft robotic gripper that operates without the need for electronics.

As reported in the journal IEEE Transactions on Robotics, the 3D-printed pads function as both soft skin for a robotic arm and pressure-based mechanical sensors.

This 3D-Printed Robot Has Tendons, Ligaments, And "Bones" – Just Like A Human Hand New printing technology means different materials can be combined like never before.

What's so special about a robot finger made out of gelatin and sugar? It's cheap, easy to source, squishy and adaptable, biodegradable, and quick to 3D print. That's quite a long list of benefits.

The I-Seed is a 4D-printed robot, meaning it was created using 3D printing technology, but it can alter its shape and properties when exposed to environmental stimuli like light and temperature.

Researchers have created a 4D printed soft robot that can crawl and dance using only changes in temperature, offering potential advancements in sustainable, autonomous robotics.

3D-printed soft robots, biomimetic designs, distributed sensing, actuation and control, autonomous soft systems, distributed power solutions, manufacturing approaches like in-situ repair and ...

Researchers have demonstrated miniature soft hydraulic actuators that can be used to control the deformation and motion of soft robots that are less than a millimeter thick. The researchers have ...
