Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research is a fundamental research to establish a new technology called "paper mechatronics" that creates three-dimensional structures, electrical circuits, actuators, and power sources by only printing on paper with specified inks. We have already succeeded in autonomous forming of a 3D structure by printing a volatile ink on paper. In this research we challenged to create an actuation mechanism by printing. Periodic motion such as repeated expansion and contraction is required for the continuous driving of mechanical system.
Therefore, we tried two methods to generate periodic movements. One is an electromechanical self-excited vibration mechanism which was inspired by electric bell. Another is a nonlinear self-excited vibration due to electro-fluid phenomenon. Both method were examined in the experiments and proved to be possible to implement motion mechanism by just printing on paper.
