| Abstract Scope |
Shape-changing structures are used in robotics, wearable technology, and complex dynamic systems. Many of these structures rely on deformation of subcomponents to accomplish conformation to a desired shape within a configuration space. In this work, we present a method for designing many-linked mechanisms for building non-stressed, compliant structures. These lattice structures were printed on a set of FFF systems and demonstrate low cost of complexity with respect to conventional manufacturing methods. Additionally, we propose a method to determine the configuration space and kinematics of a flexible structure with variable degrees of freedom, useful for shape-changing robots. Using this framework, we show examples
of shape-changing structures that can be constructed with a Reconfigurable Lattice of Auxetic Backlash Structures (RLABS). |
