Romeo: A Design Tool for Embedding Transformable Parts in 3D Models to Robotically Augment Default Functionalities

Reconfiguring shapes of objects enables transforming existing passive objects with robotic functionalities, e.g., a transformable coffee cup holder can be attached to a chair’s armrest, a piggybank can reach out an arm to ’steal’ coins. Despite the advance in end-user 3D design and fabrication, it remains challenging…
