Multi-legged robot "ZURI" that can be assembled with a paper craft & operation from a smartphone

A robot that can be assembled using paper, cutter, ruler, adhesive, etc. is "ZURI 01 Paperbot System"is. By combining multiple parts, you can create robots of various designs, equipped with distance sensors and servo motors, Bluetooth is also used, so you can control from PC and smartphone.

This is a paper craft quadruped robot "ZURI 01 Paperbot System".


Try removing the outer shell and it looks like this. On the main boardArduinoWe are using a distance sensor, Bluetooth, motor.


ZURI is a robot combining computer and paper, and programming is also free.


The main body size is the standard "1 M", two types of "2 M" with a length about 1 M times longer. This is combined with two kinds of legs "2DOF" and "3DOF" to create a robot.


Combining 2M and 3DOF is like this.


Just by changing the body and leg type / number of legs, you can make various types of robots as below.


This is the actual kit contents.


For making a robot, prepare rulers, glue, drivers and pliers.


First cut off paper and make parts.


Combining boards and motors with paper parts ......


done. This is a version with 6 legs of 2DOF type in 1M.


If you attach 4 3DOF type legs to 1M, this way.


Currently developed applications are simple design, operation seems easy.


The appearance that ZURI moves actually can be confirmed from the following movie.

Furthermore, a German company making a robotZOOBOTICSAccording to ZURI is still in the prototype stage. It is expected to be used at educational sites, and we are planning to do cloud funding for commercialization as well.
