SUMMARY To improve the accessibility of robotics, we propose a design and fabrication strategy to build low-cost electromechanical systems for robotic devices. Our method, based on origami-inspired cut-and-fold and E-textiles techniques, aims at minimizing the resources for robot creation. Specifically, we explore techniques to create robots with the resources restricted to single-layer sheets (e.g., polyester film) and conductive sewing threads. To demonstrate our strategy’s feasibility, these techniques are successfully integrated into an electromechanical oscillator (about 0.40 USD), which can generate electrical oscillation under constant-current power and potentially be used as a simple robot controller in lieu of additional external electronics.

At present, millimeter wave fast tunable components are required for telecommunication systems, car collision prevention radar, etc. The only mechanical way of control inserts practically no loss in the frequency agile system. That is why micro-electromechanical systems devices are being studied intensively. In an overview, an alternative way – piezo-electromechanical tuning of microwave components – is reported.
