-
What will it do?
- Who has done what beforehand?
- What will you design?
- What materials and components will be used?
- Where will they come from?
- How much will they cost?
- What parts and systems will be made?
- What processes will be used?
-
What questions need to be answered?
-
How will it be evaluated?
-
Your project should incorporate:
-
2D and 3D design
- Additive and subtractive fabrication processes
- Electronics design and production
- Embedded microcontroller interfacing and programming
- System integration and packaging.
- What will it do?
Well, well, well! I’ve decided to create an intelligent robot that will be able to provide supervision in environments that are a little hostile to humans, a bit like a mobile investigator ðŸ¤.
this idea came to me when, one day, on the INP-hb campus, my room key fell into a really horrible place and I had to go down to the basement alone to retrieve it, without even knowing what was there.
Beyond that, this robot can be deployed in a variety of environments; it can be used as an agricultural robot for monitoring and collecting data on a plot of land… etc.
- Who has done what beforehand?
For my project, I was inspired by some of the projects realized at the fab academy below:
- CRAWler : A Search and Rescue Robot
- ROBOT CIPI 1.0
For the chassis design, I was inspired by the robots from Hiwonder and also the Robomaster from DJI
-
DJI robot master
-
Hiwonder robot
What will you design?¶
I’ll be designing a mobile robot based on the coordination of four geared motors to move the robot. The chassis will be made mainly of mdf with some printed parts. I’ll also be designing the various drivers to control the motors.
