I guess at least three sonars could be placed on the front of the chassis (like the one I’ve attached with the acrylic bracket) and plus three on the backside of the chassis. Others can be placed on the lateral (on the aluminum channel ???). A phone could be placed on the backside of the torso (if you won’t use it as a face for the robot).
I guess the cameras won’t be a problem (just put them in the eyes).
I just got a 3d printer and is wokring fine, but i don’t know how to transfer your templates draw to this printer. I’m new i just print the test examples that came with the software. I need help in how to make your template in a object, thanks for any help!
I don’t usually work with 3D designs and unfortunately I don’t have 3D files of this project.
But eventually I work with Google SketchUp and it’s very simple to work with. And I guess there is a plugin to export the SketchUp file to a 3D printable file.
You’ll need to modify my 2D files into 3D, but I guess with Google SketchUp (or even other 3D software) it will be easy.
Hello, Noah! Thank you very much for your comment!
To design my projects I just do sketches by hand, because usually the project is already fully designed in my mind. Then I do 2D templates to have precision in the manufacture of the parts. Rarely I make plans in 3D (with SketchUp).
Just one more thing I consider important about the process of conception of my projects that I forgot to mention before: many times I make cardboard prototypes for my projects. It gives me a real perspective of how it will look in the end, avoiding the frustration of doing all the work to produce the parts and only at the end realize that some plans were not good.
This is a cardboard prototype of a robot I’m planning to build.
I am so sorry I forgot I replied to this post. I wasn’t on LMR for a while and it just slipped my mind I replied to this. I wish I was as much of an artist as you were. I can’t see how you could do that. Very cool!!!
That’s very impressive!!! How do you precision in the manufacture of parts? I can’t beleive you do it by hand that makes it even more impressive!!! Well good luck and if you need any expereince with cad let me know. I am a cad expert.
What kind of programming language did you use for the Robot, and what software of programming did you use? Im planning on building a robot for my senior project and I’m new at this. Please respond back.
Hi Mr. Dickel, thank you for responding back. I wanted to ask you for permission if I will be able to reproduce this project for my Senior Project in high school. I also wanted to ask if you can help me on building the robot like if you can be my mentor.
What a project! Really nice! I was supprised that your arm servos handle the weight of the arm so well. It seems like their torque is at best 5.5 kg*cm. Your arm (ehem, sorry, I mean your robots arm!) must be really lightweight. But then again. It seems like the robot is even able to hold a thick book! (first pic). How is that possible?
