论文摘要
为了提高机器人技术的可访问性，我们提出了一种设计和制造策略，以构建用于机器人设备的低成本机电系统。我们的方法基于折纸启发的切割和电子纹理技术，旨在最大程度地减少机器人创建的资源。具体来说，我们探索了创建具有仅限于单层板（例如聚酯薄膜）和导电缝纫线的资源的机器人的技术。为了证明我们的策略的可行性，这些技术已成功整合到机电振荡器（约0.40 USD）中，该振荡器可以在恒定功率下产生电振荡，并有可能用作简单的机器人控制器，以代替其他外部电子学。
To improve the accessibility of robotics, we propose a design and fabrication strategy to build low-cost electromechanical systems for robotic devices. Our method, based on origami-inspired cut-and-fold and E-textiles techniques, aims at minimizing the resources for robot creation. Specifically, we explore techniques to create robots with the resources restricted to single-layer sheets (e.g. polyester film) and conductive sewing threads. To demonstrate our strategy's feasibility, these techniques are successfully integrated into an electromechanical oscillator (about 0.40 USD), which can generate electrical oscillation under constant-current power and potentially be used as a simple robot controller in lieu of additional external electronics.
