    1D printing of recyclable robots

    Published on Jun 17, 2017

    Here, we demonstrate a 1D printing system that uses an approach inspired by the ribosome to fabricate a variety of specialized robotic automata from a single string of source material. This proof-of-concept system involves both a novel manufacturing platform that configures the source material using folding and a computational optimization tool that allows designs to be produced from the specification of high-level goals. We show that our 1D printing system is able to produce three distinct robots from the same source material, each of which is capable of accomplishing a specialized locomotion task. Moreover, we demonstrate the ability of the printer to use recycled material to produce new designs, enabling an autonomous manufacturing ecosystem capable of repurposing previous iterations to accomplish new tasks.

    Machine makes "1D robots" out of wire

    Published on Jul 12, 2017

    A reconfigurable robot made only from wire and motors can be printed to suit your needs. When the job is done, simply recycle it into a new robot.
