1. Principles and practices

The first class of fabacademy 2022 started with very clear introduction about fablabs and its community around the the world. It can be clearly understood how and why the fab community is connected to each node.

The First Class on Principles and practices.

Final Project Idea.

Project Idea :

The world has really changed since the invention of wireless technology. My project idea is to build and design a 6-legged spider robot with two number of servos used in each limb of the robot. Instead of using a joystick or buttons to controll the spider, I am planning to use MPU6050 to measure the velocity, acceleration, orientation and displacement of that component and transmit the signa to the robot using a wireless communication module. Therefore the spider will be controlled by transmitting the motion parameters of our hand.

Initial sketch of my project.

Control And Movement.

Alt Text

Locumotion of three-legged insects : While walking usually they either move one or two limbs at a time but When running, an insect moves three legs simultaneously. This is the tripod gait, so called because the insect always has three legs in contact with the ground: front and hind legs on one side of the body and middle leg on the opposite side.

Gentured Controlled

With the help of MPU6050 Module, we can measure the velocity, acceleration, orientation and displacement of that component. Therefore the spider will be controlled by measuring the motion of our hand.
