A swarm of tiny robots might just save your life one day—or at least that’s the idea with a new type of tiny robot that can be 3D printed all at once. In a new study published in Science today, a team ...

Harvard engineers have developed a new 3D printing technique that allows soft robots to bend, twist, and change shape in predictable ways when inflated. The approach embeds shape-morphing behavior ...

This a robot can walk, without electronics, and only with the addition of a cartridge of compressed gas, right off the 3D-printer. It can also be printed in one go, from one material. Imagine a robot ...

A 3D printed hand, with hinges, before perfusion. Harvard engineers have developed a new 3D printing method for building soft robots that bend and change shape in predictable ways when inflated. The ...

While 2026 has been an objectively terrible year for humans thus far, it’s turning out—for better or worse—to be a banner year for robots. (Robots that are not Tesla’s Optimus thingamajig, anyway.) ...

Humanity is devoted to constructing its own demise because we’re absolutely obsessed with building robots, and there’s no sign of slowing down anytime soon. It doesn’t even matter the type of robot, ...
