“This rapid prototyping capability opens up new possibilities for robot design and manufacturing, making it accessible to anyone with a computer, a 3D printer and an idea,” said Zachary ...

It’s a tool from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) that aims to let people design, simulate, and then build simple robots with a “3D print, then fold ...

Using a combination of mathematics, computer simulations, and laboratory experiments, the researchers have discovered how to design a robot with the optimum size, shape and the arrangement of its ...

The development of the robot design got off to a correspondingly bumpy ... The inside of the body consists of an aluminum frame and metal parts, which still have to be made with some effort.
