Technology Robots These 2D machines can shapeshift into moving 3D robots Mori3's triangular, modular design allows it to fuse with its companions, and could one day make it into space. By Andrew Paul ...

Cornell University researchers have created microscale robots less than 1 millimeter in size that are printed as a 2D hexagonal “metasheet” but, with a jolt of electricity, morph into ...

He explained that the miniscule robots, which are about the size of a grain of sand, basically are shape shifters -clinging together to form various 3D creations.

“Every block of expanded polystyrene foam has a statue inside it and it is the task of the dual-arm hot wire-wielding robot to discover it.” — [Michelangelo], probably. Be prepare… ...

The Grade 5 maths class of Crossroads School got into shape recently when they built robots using all the new shapes they had ... learners expand their knowledge of 2D and 3D shapes. They also learn ...

Researchers are improving the ability of robots to identify three-dimensional objects even if their shape is partially obscured.

Ideally, Shier and Tran say, 3D-printing robots could solve this problem by using a material that is both structure and skin, an enduring dream for architects since Modernism.

These modular and origami-like robots can transform into any 3D shape, offering adaptability for space exploration missions and overcoming space limitations.

Based on its belief that robotic industrial 3D printers are the most efficient way to scale high-volume production of large parts and enable printing of complex 3D shapes on curves, Orbital Composites ...

Carnegie-Mellon professor is working to create swarms of tiny robots that can assume any shape.
