Designing Balancing Toys Through Mass and Shape Optimization DESCRIPTION:Shunsuke Hirata (University of Tokyo); Yuta Noma (University o f Toronto); Koya Narumi (Keio University, The University of Tokyo); and Yo shihiro Kawahara (The University of Tokyo)\n\nThis study presents a method for designing balancing toys. Through interactive modeling techniques tha t optimize both shape and mass distribution, this research achieves the ch allenging feat of locating the center of mass outside the body. The design ed balancing toys were successfully fabricated using an FDM 3D printer.\n\ nINVITED TO THE FIRST ROUND OF THE STUDENT RESEARCH COMPETITION\n\nRegistr ation Category: Full Conference, Experience\n\n END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
