Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, or CSAIL, have developed a technique that allows for them to 3-D print robots with both solid and liquid materials. “Printable hydraulics” is a breakthrough in 3-D printing because it sets a precedent for functional machines that don’t require extra assembly, which is great news for lazy people yearning for the day that robots can do their chores anyone who needs a robot to complete a complex task.
“All you have to do is stick in a battery and motor, and you have a robot that can practically walk right out of the printer,” Daniela Rus, director of CSAIL and one of the co-authors of the study, said.
Adam Conner-Simons explains that liquids were a “big hurdle” when it came to 3-D printing. “Printing liquids is a messy process, which means that most…
