Back in the previous century, one of the most common expectations about the future was that it would include robot assistants for all. The Jetsons had one, the crew of the C-57D had one, the Robinsons ...

In assembly lines, robots are programmed to perform a single task with high precision. Consider the example of automobile assembly, depicted in the picture above. Cars move along a conveyor belt, ...

3D printers are an excellent tool to have on hand, largely because they can print other tools and parts rapidly without needing to have them machined or custom-ordered. 3D printers have dropped in ...

Robotic assistants are one of the most enduring features when we envision our technological future. Whether they’re Roombas sweeping the floor or chauffeurs in the form of self-driving cars, our ...

[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 ...

While roughly no one would consider using a sophisticated robot to stir the soup in the pot, Huenit’s multi-functional device can easily do that too. But it would be a waste to only use it for such ...

If you are thinking of building your very own desktop robot arm and were intrigued by the project published yesterday which took you through the process of creating a mini robotic arm using Arduino.

Voodoo Manufacturing unveiled Tuesday its newest tool for increasing productivity: a robotics system called Project Skywalker. The robot, which looks like an Inspector Gadget arm, will be able to ...

The potential for 3D bioprinting has been further expanded thanks to the work of engineers from the University of New South Wales (UNSW), who have developed a soft robotic arm that can print directly ...

Boat construction could be simplified by printing entire boat hulls in 3D. With precise preparation, this works too.

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 ...

V2 Group and Caracol AM collaborated to create the first large-format 3D-printed monolithic catamaran. This functional vessel embodies an industrial ambition, to make boatbuilding more agile, ...
