Abstract

We present the design of a new two degree-of-freedom transmission intended for micro / meso-scale crawling robots which is compatible both with laminate manufacturing techniques and monolithic,"pop-up" assembly methods. This is enabled through a new design suite called "popupCAD", a computer-aided design tool which anticipates laminate manufacturing methods with a suite of operations which simplify the existing design workflow. The design has been prototyped at three times the anticpated scale to better understand the assembly and motion kinematics, and simulated to establish the basic relationships between the actuator and end-effector transmission ratios.
