[Huaishu Peng] and a group of other researchers have come up with a system that allows them to use virtual reality (VR) to model an object in a space in front of them while a robot simultaneously 3D ...

On a dusty test site in Australia, a spider-like robot is quietly rewriting the rules of construction, extruding walls in ...

There's a lot of talk about the promise 3D printing holds to transform manufacturing, but far less coverage of how the technology is actually being implemented in enterprise today. Aside from enabling ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich, in collaboration with Inkbit 3D, have pioneered 3D printing of soft robots with artificial bones, ligaments, and tendons. 3D printing has advanced so rapidly that ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. TJ McCue is Seattle-based and covers tech & productivity tools. The robots are coming. Of course, you knew that. There is a fair ...

Now that 3D printing technology is taking off, some truly unique projects are beginning to emerge from all sorts of talented people. Take Gael Langevin, a French sculptor and model marker who has ...

Speaking of the robot, it imagines a complex mechanism combining a number of small parts, but almost all parts such as legs, hydraulic pumps, crankshafts etc. necessary for the mechanism of the robot ...

Soft skin coverings and touch sensors have emerged as a promising feature for robots that are both safer and more intuitive for human interaction, but they are expensive and difficult to make. A ...

A 3D printing farm in Brooklyn needed to scale up to handle large production runs and better compete with injection molding. Until recently, that would have required investing in more 3D printers and ...

3D printers are great at creating small objects – and some can even be pressed into doing larger things, such as cars – but a 3D printer able to print a full-sized house would have to be, well, bigger ...
