Using the repair techniques developed by MIT researchers, this microrobot can still maintain flight-level performance even after the artificial muscles that power its wings were jabbed by 10 needles and 20 percent of one wing tip was cut off.
A new system enables makers to incorporate sensors into gears and other rotational mechanisms with just one pass in a 3D printer.
Integrating sensors into...
