The COVID-19 pandemic has revealed the importance of digital fabrication toenable online learning, which remains a challenge for robotics courses. Weintroduce a teaching methodology that allows students to participate remotelyin a hands-on robotics course involving the design and fabrication of robots.Our methodology employs 3D printing techniques with flexible filaments tocreate innovative soft robots; robots are made from flexible, as opposed torigid, materials. Students design flexible robotic components such asactuators, sensors, and controllers using CAD software, upload their designs toa remote 3D printing station, monitor the print with a web camera, and inspectthe components with lab staff before being mailed for testing and assembly. Atthe end of the course, students will have iterated through several designs andcreated fluidically-driven soft robots. Our remote teaching methodology enableseducators to utilize 3D printing resources to teach soft robotics and cultivatecreativity among students to design novel and innovative robots. Ourmethodology seeks to democratize robotics engineering by decoupling hands-onlearning experiences from expensive equipment in the learning environment.
