D printing, or printing using adaptive materials, is on the cutting edge of 3D printing technology, and there may be a way to ...

A paper crane that flaps its wings without a single motor inside it sounds like a magic trick. But engineers at Princeton ...

So the waste problem in 3D printing is really a chemistry problem. Once these materials harden, they’re locked into their ...

With their ability to shapeshift and manipulate delicate objects, soft robots could work as medical implants, deliver drugs ...

Soft robots aim to move and change shape smoothly, but they often rely on bulky motors or external systems. To overcome this, ...

The researchers also introduced an expanded system that uses generative AI to accurately reconstruct an entire room, ...

Scientists have fabricated micrometer-scale microstructures that can move, bend, and cluster without any onboard sensors, software, or central controller. In a peer-reviewed report and a related ...

Abstract: Precise shape control of tendon-driven continuum robots (TDCRs) remains challenging due to their inherent nonlinearity and environmental uncertainties. Analytical kinematic models fail to ...

A new shape-shifting material can change both its texture and color in seconds, inspired by the camouflage abilities of octopuses. By precisely controlling how a polymer swells with water, researchers ...

At a press conference at the White House on Wednesday, First Lady Melania Trump showed up with a humanoid robot developed by robotics firm Figure AI. The duo waltzed down a red carpet together before ...
