It was just this March that we told you about a hexapod bot created at UC San Diego, which was 3D-printed in one continuous 58-hour step. That robot was powered not by a motor but by compressed ...

Can you build robots 10x faster and 10x cheaper? Yes, according to the CEO of a six-year-old Silicon Valley robotics company that has created a 200-module-strong development platform for ...

Fully 3D-printed and controlled via a locally run large language model (LLM) chatbot, the robot can be assembled for as little as $70, including all materials, electronics, and power supply.

The core of Berkeley Humanoid Lite's design is a modular 3D-printed gearbox for the actuators and robot body. All other components can be sourced from widely available e-commerce platforms or ...

(Nanowerk News) A highly sensitive, 3D-printed fingertip could help robots become more dexterous and improve the performance of prosthetic hands by giving them an in-built sense of touch. Machines can ...

Robots are cool. Robots you build yourself are cooler, especially ones that use stuff you have lying around already. Snoopy is a new open-source robot that uses an Arduino as a brain but with a 3D … ...

Development of an Open-Source 3D-Printed Material Synthesis Robot FLUID: Hardware and Software Blueprints for Accessible Automation in Materials Science. ACS Applied Engineering Materials, 2025 ...

3D printing vs. robots Currently, robots that are 3D printed are typically made using fast-curing polyacrylates. These polymers are durable and solidify rapidly during deposition.

A research team develops 3D-printed pneumatic logic modules that control the movements of soft robots using only air pressure. These modules enable logical switching of the air flow and can thus ...
