Wireless Robot Manipulation

I set out to build a robot from scratch, and not just any robot - a robot that could perform complex dance moves!

  1. The creation of a 3-legged robot began with the drafting of engineering drawings and 3D simulations in Autodesk Fusion 360.

  2. Apt GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing) was implemented, with the use of DFA (Design for Assembly) techniques, to ensure precision in the design process.

  3. Through load calculations and positioning, the sizing of actuators and bearing elements such as battery, DC-DC convertor, and Raspberry Pi were determined, which allowed for an impressive 80% weight reduction.

  4. Rapid iteration was facilitated through building prototypes and utilizing Agile methodology, advancing the concept to production.

  5. The 3D printed modular robot was built and wirelessly programmed in Python, operating on the Raspberry Pi 3B.

  6. By optimizing its speed through further programming and tweaking, the robot's speed was improved by an impressive 30%.
