MIT researchers have developed a modular 'voxel' construction system that robots can assemble and disassemble, enabling buildings to be reused rather than demolished. The approach aims to cut material ...

Robotically assembled building blocks could be a more environmentally friendly method for erecting large-scale structures ...

Engineers have developed a new soft magnetic hydrogel that can be 3D-printed into microscopic structures.

Imagine you want to iterate on a shock-absorbing structure design in plastic. You might design something in CAD, print it, then test it on a rig. You’ll then note down your measurements, and repeat ...

"Ancient Japanese Art Brings Spineless Robot To Life!" Sounds very much like a movie plot summary. In reality, it perfectly ...

Researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL) have unveiled a novel robotic structure, the "trimmed helicoid," inspired by the movements of elephant trunks and octopus ...

Self-assembly exists across domains, from colloidal particles in material science to fire ants assembling themselves into rafts during floods. The rules that govern self-assembly between these ...

When viewed through the lens of performance, precision, and efficiency, robotic technology is often associated with reducing costs, timelines, and production processes. According to the International ...
