Robots are really expensive and hard to build. Two MIT scientists want to change all that with inkjet printers and techniques borrowed from origami.
MIT robotics experts Ankur Mehta and Daniela Rus recently published a paper that describes a system for designing and building print-and-fold robots. That’s 2D printing, too, not 3D printing. Their process “uses cheap and easily available software and hardware tools and raw materials, making [building robots] accessible to a casual hobbyist.”
