Robot is 3D-printed upside-down in one piece, then walks out of the printer (newatlas.com)

The walk cycle is really cool, but it needs to be (manually) attached to compressed air. The video[1] saying it walks "autonomously out of the printer" is nowhere near the truth.

what really caught my eye is the 3d printer itself, took me a while to find the repo for it, so here it is: https://github.com/The-Soft-Robotics-Forum/flex-printer


An uncanny reminder of the Universal Constructor in the first Deus Ex.
