11. Applications and Implications¶
what will it do?¶
- It is an robotic arm that can determine points in three-dimensional space in order to convert these points into a three-dimensional model I will have to take some measurments which will be automatically taken by my robotic arm this is can be done when I have potintiometers in my arm then using forward kinimatics calculation I can determine my 3d position the x position and y position and z position this can be possible if I used four potitiometers.
who has done what beforehand?¶
What will you design?¶
- I will be designing in Fusion 360 for the arm that form the hands using acrylic with laser machine or cnc machine cutting then I will add a variable resistance in the joints that I will connect them to the circuit that I made in the week (9) then I will decorate it with stickers
what materials and components will be used?¶
- (4) variable resistance
- Wires
- Microcontroller
- Acyrilc sheet 30x60 cm
- Lap top
- power supply
- Screws
- Servo motor
- Pla filmant
- Swich
where will they come from?¶
- FabLab Store
- Local shops
how much will they cost?¶
- (4) variable resistance: 8.000 BD
- Wires: 2.000 BD
- Microcontroller: 6.000 BD
- Acyrilc sheet (thickness:10mm) 30x60 cm: 7.000 BD
- power supply: 5.000 BD
- Screws: 4.000 BD
- (4)Servo motor: 14.000 BD
- Pla filmant: 5.000 BD
- Swich: 3.000 BD
what parts and systems will be made?¶
- Electrical circuit with eagle and easy EDA
- Mechanical hand with fusion360
- Processing unit with grasshopper
what processes will be used?¶
- Cnc
- 3d printer
- lesr cutter
- milling machine
- Vynil cutter
what questions need to be answered?¶
- Solve equations
- Programming
- The Programs used
- Design
how will it be evaluated?¶
- It will be evaluated if the point in space location match “equal” the measured one using the robot potentiometers
### Plan
- Do more research on “forward kinimatics” (Apr 01: applications and implications)
- Try to implement the math behind it “using grasshopper”(Apr 22: interface and application programming)
- make my oun PCB to input and output data (Mar 25: input devices) (Mar 04: electronics design)
- fabricate the arms of the robot(Jun 17- project presentations )
- Put all parts together(Jun 17- project presentations )
- Test the accuracy(Apr 22: interface and application programming)
- Modify and correct any error in the readings(Apr 22: interface and application programming)
- After building the input arm “potintiometer” I will build the output arm “servo motor” (Apr 15: output devices)
