Inspired by kirigami, a type of Japanese paper art, researchers have created a new material that transforms from a grid into ...

A microscope that cost less than £50 and took under 3 hours to build using a common 3D printer could be transformative for ...

A new single-string method lets flat designs deploy into complex 3D structures, with potential uses in modular space habitats ...

The idea of a single robot that can transform into three different machines sounds like science fiction, but it is already ...

MIT researchers have developed a new method for designing 3D structures that can be transformed from a flat configuration ...

Abstract: Soft robots, with their compliance and adaptability, are ideal for applications requiring continuously flexible, dynamic movement, making them promising candidates for underwater locomotion.

Abstract: Welding robots represent pivotal equipment in intelligent welding for manufacturing and maintenance. Presently, most welding robots are stationary single-arm units, exhibiting limited ...

General-purpose robots remain rare not for a lack of hardware but because we still can’t give machines the physical intuition ...

SAM 3D Objects is a foundation model that reconstructs full 3D shape geometry, texture, and layout from a single image, excelling in real-world scenarios with occlusion and clutter by using ...

Researchers from Ben Gurion University in the Negev, Israel, have designed a reconfigurable crawling robot that can shift its shape to traverse different terrains. Known as DSTAR, the robot’s video ...
