Former Halifax child prodigy grows up to design self-folding origami robots

HALIFAX -- A Halifax-born former child prodigy has proven he can do just about anything with a piece of paper.

Erik Demaine, a 37-year-old MIT computer science professor, thinks the technology behind his self-folding printable robots could one day evolve into downloadable smartphones, biomedical devices that deliver cancer-killing drugs, and even gadgets that could take on any form.

But to Demaine, it's all an extension of origami.

"When we started working in computational origami, we didn't expect it to have lots of applications. It was just because it seemed cool ... (and) maybe we could make better art this way," he said.

"As a surprise, all these engineering applications came around ... It's been a lot of fun to watch that evolution from sort of more pure art and mathematics, to more applied stuff."

On Thursday, Demaine returned to Dalhousie University, where he enrolled as an undergraduate student at 12 years old, to celebrate his alma mater's 200th anniversary with the unveiling of a curve-creased origami sculpture he and his father forged from the pages of a book detailing the school's history.

As an 18-year-old PhD student at the University of Waterloo, Demaine developed an algorithm that could determine how to fold a piece of paper into any 3D shape, before moving to Cambridge, Mass., to become the youngest professor ever hired by MIT at age 20.

Still, he said, the mathematics behind the sculpture's interlocking concentric circles continue to evade him.

When Demaine embarks on a project, he said he does not know if it is going to produce a mathematical solution or a work of art. He is happy either way, but often one contributes to the other.

"The more we play with math and art, the more we think of them as the same thing," he said. "You start with something you'd like to solve on the math side, or something you'd like to build, say, on the sculpture side, and you have to come up with creative ways to actually make that happen."

Demaine said he and his father have been working together to explore the interface between math and art since he was six years old, when they co-founded the Erik and Dad Puzzle Company, which had sales in toy stores across Canada.

In some ways, the father-son duo is still tinkering with toys, but ones that could have profound implications, said Demaine.

Self-folding printable robots are built out of layered sheets of material, which are laminated together and cut with a laser, Demaine explained. He said the internal layers often consist of electronics and a structural material like paper, which are sandwiched between the same plastic material used in the children's toy Shrinky Dinks.

The flat sheet of material will contract when exposed to heat, causing it to fold in along its creases to form a 3D robot. The robot's movements can be controlled by a motor or a magnetic field.

While printable robots are less durable than traditional robots, Demaine said they are far cheaper to build, often costing only tens of dollars, and can be assembled in a matter of hours rather than years.

"The exciting thing about printable robots is that you can build custom robots, and a different robot every day," he said. "For robot designers, it lets them iterate on designs really fast."

MIT has helped develop a one-centimetre-long, biodegradable robot that takes on a frog-like form to waddle across surfaces and swim.

These robots could theoretically be ingested and navigate their way through the body so they would only release a cancer-killing drug when they reach a tumour, killing the disease without harming other organs, said Demaine.

Another possible application of the technology would be to build "programmable matter," which would allow people to update their smartphones by downloading hardware rather than software. Rather than buy a new smartphone, he said, the older model would change its form into the latest design.

The ultimate goal, he said, is to create a "universal gadget" that can contort itself into any form, whether it be a bicycle, a laptop or even a room.

"It could be one gadget that could form any shape that you need," he said. "You won't have to carry as many things around, and you can be more versatile for whatever you don't expect to happen."

Finding inspiration: High-tech youth center offers tools to discover new hobbies

Library customer Christian rides his bike to Oro Valley Public Library's 101Space nearly every day.

Christian didn’t know exactly what he’d find in the 101Space at Oro Valley Public Library, but on his first visit, he recalls thinking, “Whoa, this place is really cool.”

Entering the high-tech youth center, he found a 3D printer, something that he had never seen before. He says, “It just looked like a big, fancy microwave.” Not to be deterred, he did what any ever-curious 12 year old might do. He turned it on and the machine kicked into gear, igniting a passion that quickly caught the attention of Library staff .

Bethany Wilson, former Young Adult Librarian at Oro Valley Public Library, said, “Christian is the perfect example of the HOMAGO [Hang Out, Mess Around, Geek Out] philosophy in action.”

The philosophy, which goes hand-in-hand with Connected Learning, a best practice among libraries nationwide, positions the library as a place where young adults can discover, practice, and explore the things that interest them.

“That’s exactly what our 101Space is about,” says Kendra Davey, Library Program Manager for Family Literacy.

“We provide the space, the tools, and the support for kids like Christian to find their next hobby, perhaps even the thing that will drive their future.”

For Christian, it was all about the 3D printer, which happened to be in need of repairs when he found it. Taking the lead, Christian spent hours on YouTube and made calls to MakerBot, the manufacturer, to help get it working again.

“I spent three months gathering all the information I could on it,” he says.

Back in working order, the 3D printer offers Christian, who rides his bike to the Library nearly every day, hours of entertainment and learning. “I get a lot of ideas from Thingiverse,” he says.

The largest 3D printing design community, Thingiverse provides printable files for aficionados like Christian to download, remix, and customize. A quick search shows an incredibly wide range of projects from the simple (need a guitar pick holder?) to the more complicated (how about a web-controlled power outlet?).

It’s been a little less than a year since the first time he visited the 101Space, but you’d never know that from watching him. Today, he moves around the machines with the ease and confidence of someone who’s been using the technology for years.

“I’ve made gliders, bike parts, mini catapults, gadgets for my GoPro, fidget spinners. Anything really. If I can fit it into the base plate, I can print it,” he says.

At home, his younger brother Thaddeus is grateful. “I have a drone that breaks sometimes. Christian uses the 3D printer to make replacement parts for it.”

He also shares pointers with his older sister, Alexis, who studies architecture at Notre Dame. Soon, Alexis will begin sharing models created in SketchUp and Christian will print them.

Christian is now a member of the Library’s Teen Advisory Board and, though the youngest member, is having a lot of fun talking about Library equipment and brainstorming future Library programs.

Plus, as the resident 3D printer expert, he’s making new friends. “Some kids will see me in the Library and ask me if I can make them something,” he adds. He’s always happy to.

He plans to begin volunteering at the Library just as soon as he turns 14.

Christian smiles, “I feel valued here, but I think that’s mainly because I know so much about the printer.”

Asked if he’d have discovered this interest without the help of the Library, Christian doesn’t miss a beat. “Definitely not. These machines cost thousands of dollars. I’m a 12 year old boy.”

In addition to the 3D printing, he’s learning to make apps and exploring Swift coding. He’s also into Lego Mindstorms and flying drones.

Simply put, the same can be said of Christian’s future as he likes to say about 3D printing… “The possibilities are wide open.”

A simple guide to getting started with 3D printing

If you’re looking at getting into 3D printing, get started here with our introductory guide.

What is 3D printing

In 1983, Chuck Hull created the first working 3D printer. He also created the STL files format that we still use today. In 2014 he was added to the Inventors hall of fame and sits alongside Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, and many others.

Normal printers print onto paper, 3D printer prints physical objects. They have been around since the 80’s and begun mainstream popularity in 2016. Currently, we can print objects out of solid materials.

The types of filament available, ABS and PLA are the most popular.

As the tech develops; food, electronics, and even human body parts will be printable.

A 3d printed ear that actually is living when properly added to someone’s face.

Keep your feet on the ground, for now, you still can’t print out a working Xiaomi smartphone, but you will be able to in the future.

How does 3D printing work?

The process can be divided into two different steps. Design and printing.

Designing a 3D object

A home designer printing off a floor plan to show a client their draft design.

First, you design the item to be printed, either using 3D software or by using a 3D scanner to scan an original item to be copied. The common software used is CURA, with this free software, you can quickly design 3D objects and then print them directly to the printer. After your design is completed, the printer does the rest of the work.

Do I need to design everything I print?

The advantage of a printer is you can create exactly what you want. If you are just getting started, or have a specific part you need to print, there are already a lot of designs available for free online. Thingiverse and Instructables have a good collection downloadable objects.

The printing process

A normal printer takes ink and uses a print head to carefully spread ink across a piece of paper. 3D printers don’t use ink they use “filament”, which is usually plastic wire-like material. The extruder melts the filament, then prints it out onto a platform called a print bed.

The basic components of a 3D printer.

The printing process is completed in layers, starting from the bottom of the design to the top. When the process is completed your object is ready.

How fast are 3D printers?

The speed of printing depends on two variables.

Size: The larger or more complex the design, the longer it takes to print.

Detail: Higher resolution prints look better but take longer to create.

How do they print different colors?

Original printers were just black and white, then color printers came, they used blue red and yellow colors to mix into any color. 3D is the same, most printers now are single or dual color, but there are a few RGB models.  Multicolor is achieved by using an advanced extruder and hot end that melts different colors together during printing.
