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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A new multipurpose robotic arm has been created by a team of developers at HitBot based in Shenzhen, China called the Z-Arm, which is capable of 3D printing, laser engraving, picking/placing and more.

[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 ...

One of the big issues with 3D printing farms is that, in order to achieve large batches of product, you need to have a large number of printers working together in unison. Particularly if you’re a one ...

Researchers have created a new interactive fabrication system called RoMA, which uses 3D printing, virtual reality technology and computer aided design CAD. Check out the video below to learn more ...

On most consumer 3D printers, the print head moves by sliding horizontally along rails, and vertically along rods. The Plybot is different, though, in that it "holds" its head in two robotic arms.

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, ...

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 ...

Italy-based pioneer in large-format robotic 3D printing Caracol just raised a $40 million Series B round and is going all in on the United States. CEO Francesco De Stefano calls the U.S. the company’s ...
