3D Printing
MIT 3D prints a complete walking robot engadget
The breakthrough that researchers have made centers around creating what's being called "printable hydraulics," a way to create liquid-filled pumps inside the manufacturing process. According to CSAIL director Daniella Rus, the technique "is a step towards the rapid fabrication of functional machines." She adds that "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."

3D printer creates full-color, multiple material prototypes in a single print run gizmag
The J750 is not the first Polyjet printer from Stratasys, but it is the first that can print in five colors – cyan, magenta, yellow, black and white – instead of just three. The addition of white in particular means the printer can now use the CMYK process to derive a broad spectrum of 360,000 accurate color shades. Indeed, the printer can even recreate color gradients and complex patterns such as wood grain, plaid, and so on.

Primarily a video. I love that they that reiterate multiple times that NK can't hit us, then say that NK can hit just about everyone in the general area, but not us...so all is good.
AI
Mass General will use artificial intelligence to improve hospital care venturebeat
Using AI, physicians can compare a patient’s symptoms, tests, and history with insight from a vast population of other patients. Initially, the MGH Clinical Data Science Center will focus on the fields of radiology and pathology — which are particularly rich in images and data — and then expand into genomics and electronic health records.

This Cute Self-Driving Robot Wants to Deliver Your Food or Laundry fortune
For now, Carry has been used in pilot programs on a couple of school campuses, where it mostly interacts with pedestrians and completes various kinds of deliveries. A mobile app lets customers interact with Carry, such as open one of its four compartments to grab their parcels, while a software tool will let its eventual customers easily send delivery orders to Dispatch’s fleet of these robots.
These delivery bots seem to have suddenly become a thing...

UK researchers have developed an inexpensive waterless toilet with energy-producing capabilities. The goal behind this new eco-friendly Nano Membrane Toilet is to help the 2.4 billion people worldwide who do not have access to sanitized and safe lavatory facilities.
There's an animated video of how this, um, works.
