Goals

The goal of this project is to help people who can't use a pencil or paintbrush on their own but still draw and paint. This will be achieved with a robot that can hold the utensil for them

This project will be built similarly to a 3D printer. The movement will be controlled by tracking the motion of the user's hand. It aims to help people who don't have fine motor skills or can't hold a pencil.

Scope

This will be a 13"x13" table top robot

By the end of the studio, we hope to have made the hand tracking along with a moving arm.

To add on to the project in the future we could add more attachments or maybe make a bigger version to fit a bigger canvas

Questions

Does this seem to simple?

Any ideas on how to do the hand tracking?

Pitch

Our team is proud to present an exciting and innovative project aimed at raising awareness for mental health issues. Our wax-melting machine is a powerful and symbolic representation of the pain and suffering that those struggling with depression and suicidal thoughts experience. By creating a stunning visual display, our installation serves as a catalyst for important conversations about mental health and the need to provide support to those in need. We believe that our project can make a meaningful impact on the world, inspiring real change and helping to create a brighter future for those struggling with mental health. Viewers will leave the exhibit with a deeper, more cognizant and empathetic understanding of the struggles of those with depression. We invite you to join us in our mission and become a part of this important cause. Let's work together to raise awareness for mental health issues and create a better world for everyone.
