A Portable Transformable Device

Abstract Although there have been many studies on transforming robots in recent years, there are few reports of using transforming robots for daily use. In this research, we developed a portable transformable device using shape memory resin with the aim of daily use of the deformation devices. The developed device is lightweight and easy to carry. In spite of its simple structure, it is possible to realize a more complicated structure by combining them with each other. In order to clarify the effectiveness of the proposed device, we show some usage examples of the device and show the potential of the device as various tools for our daily life. © 2022 Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.
