Printable robots — those that can be assembled from parts produced by 3-D printers — have long been a topic of research in Computer Science labs at MIT. Now researchers introduce a new wrinkle ...

Meet Plen2, an adorably cute humanoid robot that's small enough to stand on your desk. This bot can bust a few moves, such as dancing and carrying small objects. It's also open source and 3D ...

It’s not just cakes and cupcakes we can bake. We may soon be baking our own robots too! While Intel is working on robots you can print and assemble on your own, a group of researchers is working ...

“We were really surprised by the diversity of models people made,” Schulz told me. It took about 15-30 minutes to design a robot, a few hours to print it, then 30-90 minutes to assemble it.

MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab (CSAIL) has come up with a new way to make soft, hydraulically-powered robots in one step using commercial 3D printers that can print solid ...

All other parts that can't be printed can be easily bought off-the-shelf from online stores. The robot's 3D-printable parts can be reproduced with at least a 200 x 200 x 200 mm build space.

Printable robots—those that can be assembled from parts produced by 3-D printers—have long been a topic of research in the lab of Daniela Rus, the Andrew and Erna Viterbi Professor of ...

That's a small start. But eventually, says iRobot CEO Colin Angle, 3-D printing could evolve to the point where you wouldn't need to buy any preassembled parts. "Your Roomba could be a software ...
