Burn-E PaperCraft Robot

An Idea appeared in my mind a question Why did not make a robot to do some cool staff? then I have already started to learn programming of electrical circuits, and annexd to the talent in making paper craft models.

***************************

Step 1: (The IDEA):

I used this paper craft model form paper-replika : Download the paper model from here:

http://paper-replika.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=466&Itemid=30

And I saw that, when I place the electronics parts inside the model and Make the MAQUETTE Alive, I think it will be cool Idea.

* I fold the Model Head then I put Ultrasonic sensor Inside, Instead of the robot's eyes.

**********************

Step 2: Testing the Sensors

esting the sensors after placing it inside the head.

I used an Arduino Uno and an ultrasonic sensor to make the robot measure the distance.

For example, if the object is 10 cm away from the sensor, and the speed of the sound is 340 m/s or 0.034 cm/µs the sound wave will need to travel about 294 u seconds. But what you will get from the Echo pin will be double that number because the sound wave needs to travel forward and bounce backward. So in order to get the distance in cm we need to multiply the received travel time value from the echo pin by 0.034 and divide it by 2.

Here is full tutorial how to use ultrasonic sensors : https://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/Ping

************************

Step 3: Body Mechanism

To make the robot more realistic, I put three servo motors inside the body to control the movement of the head and arms.

Have a look what is servo motor and what its able to do :

Step 4: Robot Arms

The Robot still miss two arms :) So I installed the structure of the Arm paper model as shown then I placed the servo gear inside it, so as to easily control them.

Very cool!

Do you have any pictures to share? :slight_smile:

Pepakura

Pepakura and Paper replika (among others) are actually great when it comes to providing inspiration and physical models for robots. Your idea of adapting the Burn-E model would certainly be nice. If you can find a few models which are all the same scale, this post can be really popular. Imagine an inexpensive paper-based Wall-E (even cardboard tracks) with inexpensive servos. Looking forward to seeing your progress.

Excellent!
I love that you had the exact same idea as I had- using papercrafts as a chassis!

I would like to see pictures and a video, too!

Thanks a lot

Actually I faced some technical problems to upload the full detailed in here , so you will find more details in this link:

Thank you for encouragement

Thank you for encouragement , I faced some probems while uploading my project in here , Now pics and videos are avilable

Thanks A lot,I faced some

Thanks A lot,

Thank you

Thank you for your encouragement , I appreciate your opinion and promising to do my best in the up coming project.

I’m thinking in my Next project to cover the paper or cardboard with fiberglass sheets to be more realistic and hardness.

Very cool!!!
