This device was inspired by John Edmark’s kinetic spiral art and the Fin Ray Effect, a structure used in robotic soft grippers. When given this assignment, I immediately…
Brainstorming With no experience in SolidWorks, I decided to only modify the project a little, by reducing the inner radius by half. I was curious on how to…
My project mimics those toys that never fall over no matter how hard you push them. The trick is to put their center of gravity low and centered…
Swinger Meant to mimic “pirate ship rides” at amusement parks, this project shows a simple phenomena: despite the large swinging motion of the servo, the ball stays in…
Project Objectives The main objective was to produce a physical mechanism that produces a pattern of motion over time. My project rocks back and forth at increasingly steeper…
This is a simple mechanism that allows the ball move along a random path and finally falls into a hole. The angle of the swing is randomized so…
My main goal was to make the robot move forward, in addition to bobbing up and down. I ended up using a four-bar linkage to try to push…
Ideation Since I have done a bit of CAD in the past, my main objective for this project was to get more familiar with arches and curves in…
Hagan Miller This is the code that I used to snap the roller back and forth. I tried to set it so that the machine caught itself on…
Brainstorming Taking inspiration from the model our professor presented us in class, I thought about how I could create a teetering motion or further the rolling motion. Making…
