Abstract: Swarm manufacturing is an emerging manufacturing paradigm that employs a heterogeneous swarm of robots to accomplish complex hybrid manufacturing tasks. Cooperative 3D printing (C3DP), a specialized form of swarm manufacturing, ...

Abstract: Traditional topology optimization techniques, such as density-based and level set methods, have proven successful in identifying potential design configurations for structures and mechanisms but suffer from rapidly increasing ...

Abstract: Engineering inspired by origami has the potential to impact several areas in the development of morphing structures and mechanisms. Selffolding capabilities in particular are necessary in situations when it may be impractical ...

Abstract: We present NoodlePrint, a generalized computational framework for maximally concurrent layer-wise cooperative 3D printing (C3DP) of arbitrary part geometries with multiple robots. NoodlePrint is inspired by a recently ...
