Project Brief

Over 70% of Americans eat toast regularly, its quick and simple and affordable. There is unfortunately one problem, its messy to make, from jam to peanut butter you are going to run into problems that will slow you down in the morning. Using a modular design, you cannot only dispense butter and jam onto toast but also honey and jelly into yogurt. It also uses a nozzle to heat up different condiments such as butter to get the perfect melt for an easy spread.

How Might We....

How might we automate the butter-jam toast process for people who eat it consistently and/or people with physical disabilities so that you can speed up your mornings?

This project is about a clip-on robotic guitar tuner. The robot will be able to play the strings on the guitar, listen to the noise, and then tune the guitar accordingly.

How Might We....

How Might We +

reduce the time and effort it takes to tune guitars so that guitar players can spend more time practicing and playing?

Precedents

Sketches

Insert 2 sketches:

• Robot arm performing its action
• Robot arm at rest

Le Maths

Trig for inverse kinematics

probably some Fourier transforms to isolate the note

maybe some calc for tuning force?

Design Constraints:

Our robot will have:

• An arm with 2 joint points that can reach a point in 3D space
• A microphone for tuning
• A camera for detecting what type of guitar it is tuning

Design Constraints:

An idea

Project Brief

• Robotic Arm attached to sand bed

• Allows those with quadriplegia to move

• Controlled with Ipad

What is quadriplegia?

How Might We....

So That They can be more independent

Allow easier mobility

for those with disabilities

I probably won't be able to make every feature I want to, so I just want to make a very basic function for each feature, but the main things I want to get done are: The main body, remote controlled, an arm that has a spray bottle on one side and a towel on one side and if wanted can spin very fast to turn into a weapon, a suction system, a bin on it, speaker, and camera.

Project Brief

A robot arm that will write for someone who can't. It will use someone's voice to know what to write. I will do this by using to Servo motors attached to an Arduino telling it where to move and where to go. I will be trying to draw a circle at first and then after that I will see if I can make it draw anything else.

Project Brief

Pirouette Precision is an AI-powered robot designed to help dancers improve their technique and seves as an at home dancIt uses a trained AI model to analyze the persons movements and identify mistakes in real time. A 3D-modeled figurine will show correct version of each move, so the person can visualize their mistakes. This tool is most helpful when practicing by yourself or at home where you may not have a coach to correct you.

Precedents

Sketch

• breaking down dance moves into angles
• programing these angles into Arduino to make the figurine follow the steps

Math

Next steps

• Try to create a simple robot arm prototype
• learn to 3D model/print
• make a 3D printed figurine
• make the figurine move
• train an AI model
