Abstract
In this work, we propose a system that allows casual users to design ground robots that can be easily fabricated with a 3D printer. The system leverages a database of examples created by expert roboticists. A composition tool imbedded in this system allows the users to create new designs by composing parts from the robots in this database. The system automatically ensures that the assembled robot is fabricable and that it can locomote forward while still giving creative freedom to users. Keywords: digital fabrication, data-drive methods, design, robotics.
