This paper describes fundamental principles for two-dimensional pattern design of folded robots, specifically mobile robots consisting of closed-loop kinematic linkage mechanisms. Three fundamental methods for designing closed-chain folded four-bar linkages - the basic building block of these devices - are introduced. Modular connection strategies are also introduced as a method to overcome the challenges of designing assemblies of linkages from a two-dimensional sheet. The result is a design process that explores the tradeoffs between the complexity of linkage fabrication and also allows the designer combine multiple functions or modes of locomotion. A redesigned modular robot capable of multi-modal locomotion and grasping is presented to embody these design principles. |
