Anyone who already owns or has built their own 3D printer and would like to add any powerful touchscreen control console may be worth giving the new AstroBox Touch more investigation. Created by a ...

Since 2004, I have worked on PCMag’s hardware team, covering at various times printers, scanners, projectors, storage, and monitors. I currently focus my testing efforts on 3D printers, pro and ...

Capacitive touch sensors are entirely in the domain of DIY, requiring little more than a carefully-chosen conductive surface and a microcontroller. This led [John Phillips] to ask why not embed such ...

Soft skin coverings and touch sensors have emerged as a promising feature for robots that are both safer and more intuitive for human interaction, but they are expensive and difficult to make. A ...

Researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) and the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering have figured out how to make soft robots with ...

Designing interactive devices is a challenging task that requires careful mechanical design and wiring to integrate electronics. Using multi-material 3D printing and computational tools, this work ...
