Robot Origami: Robot self-folds, walks, and completes tasks

A team of MIT researchers have developed a printable origami robot that folds itself up from a flat sheet of plastic when heated and measures about a centimeter from front to back. (Learn more: mitne.ws/1HwBZro)
Weighing only a third of a gram, the robot can swim, climb an incline, traverse rough terrain, and carry a load twice its weight.

I read the article and I'm a bit confused. It's basically a magnet being controlled by a magnetic field. The perceived walking gesture occurs because of the frictional forces on the ground, right? I have 2 questions: 1. Why not just move a magnet around? 2. This can't work in the body if it depends on the frictional forces from the ground on the feet, right?

I got the impression that the movement at the folded joints was a matter of interaction between the applied electromagnetic fields and the neodymium cube magnet built into it...forces acting directly on the folded material, not surface friction.

@MargaretLeber 9 жыл бұрын

Ah... _Once the robot has folded itself up, the proper application of a magnetic field to the permanent magnet on its back causes its body to flex. The friction between the robot’s front feet and the ground is great enough that the front feet stay fixed while the back feet lift. Then, another sequence of magnetic fields causes the robot’s body to twist slightly, which breaks the front feet’s adhesion, and the robot moves forward._ The pointy feet would get a pretty good purchase on body tissues, I'd think.

They keep on referring to the thing as a robot, but isn't that a bit disingenuous. The robot is the computer and magnets. The origami thing is just an effector. Isn't it? Also, the origami effect doesn't make sense. Its controlled by heat. So doesn't that mean it permanent? You can't form it then unform it. Right? So what would you use this for vs just having the preformed shape.

INNOVATION AT MIT!!!!! HOW DO U GUYS DO THAT ALL THE TIME......SPELLBINDING THE PEOPLE EVERY TIME hats offf...........

@MyLifeOfficial 7 жыл бұрын

People are asking what's impressive about this. Well let me tell you. 1) They've developed material / use of a material that they can fold into a specific shape by heat, which can securely grab onto something (a magnet in this case) and later on let go and disintegrate fairly passively by just exposing it to a liquid. 2) Separate to this they've developed a method to finely control a small piece of magnet to get it to move exactly where they want it to go along a designated path. That's where the innovation is. The problem is they're trying to market and upsell these two innovations by packaging it and calling it a "Robot". That's the problem that people then can't see past, and understandably so.

@@electricalnguyen The actually say it in the video that an external modulated magnetic field is needed to guide the robot. At 1:58 you can see that he moves the arm on the table and the "robot" stand in position. I did the same "experiments" when I was a kid, but with a static field of course, using an oscillating one is better because it makes it jump, so it reduces friction and you can control better the position of your piece of metal. Good work moving that magnet from below the table!

If I understand this correctly, it requires an externally modulated magnetic field to actuate the robot? I think we've also heard about magnetically actuated nano-robots in the human bloodstream before, but not much practical use had come out of it. How does this team aim to overcome those engineering challenges?
