A "casting robot" would use sculpting tools and templates to make plaster molds. Plaster was selected because the molds are easy to make, can make precise parts with good surface finishes, and the plaster can be easily recycled afterward using an oven to bake the water back out.
The robot was made at home using waste materials, [21] as well as aluminum, plastic, cardboard, wood, newspapers, and other items readily available in the local market. [22] No 3D-printed components are used, and the cost is low, around ₹ 50,000 (approximately $675 or €572). [23]
In fact, according to the EPA, barely 14 percent of plastic products are recycled globally. But a new generation of recycling technology is here to keep the world's plastics in circulation and out ...
Soft-legged wheel-based robot with terrestrial locomotion abilities. Soft robotics is a subfield of robotics that concerns the design, control, and fabrication of robots composed of compliant materials, instead of rigid links.
The engineering and robotics design company has redefined robot agility — now they can leap, crawl, roll and move items without assistance. Over the past decade, Boston Dynamics has made their ...
Robotic materials are composite materials that combine sensing, actuation, computation, and communication in a repeatable or amorphous pattern. [1] Robotic materials can be considered computational metamaterials in that they extend the original definition of a metamaterial [2] as "macroscopic composites having a man-made, three-dimensional, periodic cellular architecture designed to produce an ...
EAPs or EPAMs are a plastic material that can contract substantially (up to 380% activation strain) from electricity, and have been used in facial muscles and arms of humanoid robots, [30] and to enable new robots to float, [31] fly, swim or walk.
Xenobots are composed solely of frog cells, making them biodegradable and environmentally friendly robots. Unlike traditional technologies, xenobots do not generate pollution or require external energy inputs during their life-cycle.
