What if the future of precision mechanics didn’t rely on massive manufacturing plants or multimillion-dollar R&D budgets, but instead emerged from a 3D printer on a hobbyist’s workbench? That’s ...

Researchers have developed a low-cost humanoid robot designed to make robotic hardware more accessible ...

Typically, when we think of 3D printed parts, we think of unique parts with complex geometries that would be hard to fabricate with other techniques. Strength is rarely the first thing that comes to ...

UC Berkeley's open-source Humanoid Lite costs under $5,000 and uses 3D-printed parts, opening humanoid robotics to more researchers and students.

It seems that humanoid robots suffer from a personality disorder. On the one hand, such devices are very expensive laboratory ...

Transmissions, especially automatic transmissions, can be a little bit difficult to understand sometimes. There are valve bodies, brand brakes, selector forks—it’s all a bunch of jargon that often ...

3D printers are good for a lot of things, but making parts for power transmission doesn’t seem to be one of them. Oh sure, some light-duty gears and timing belt sprockets will work just fine when ...

I bet you were pretty proud of that loaf of sourdough you whipped up from scratch while stuck at home. But did you 3D-print your own functional Formula 1 gearbox design from the ground up? Don’t worry ...
