Jamio Paik: Origami roboti koji mijenjaju oblik

Origami roboti koji mijenjaju oblik

Uzimajući motive dizajna iz origamija, robotičarka Jamie Paik i njezin tim stvorili su "robogamije": složive robote od vrlo tankih materijala koji se mogu preoblikovati. U ovom govoru i tehnološkom prikazu, Paik nam pokazuje kako se robogamiji mogu prilagoditi za obavljanje brojnih zadataka na Zemlji (ili u svemiru) te pokazuje kako se kotrljaju, skaču, katapultiraju kao iz praćke ili čak kucaju poput živog srca.

New robots inspired by origami can fold, roll, jump, and adapt their form for any task, from crawling across rough terrain to pulsing like a beating heart. These ultra-thin, flexible machines, called robogamis, are built from layered circuits, motors, and sensors that let them reconfigure themselves on command. Their versatile design makes them ideal for unpredictable environments, including space, where a single robot might need to perform dozens of jobs. By giving machines the power to reshape themselves, robotics is poised to become more personalized, interactive, and useful than ever before.
