Avi/Samantha motion primitives

Our two robots are tied together, so the obvious way for them to interact is to pull. We created poses for one or both of the robots pulling…

Motion Primitives (Abel, Thomas)

Goals Create a composition that expresses an interaction between two good old friends Outcomes The robot on the left is shaking and sick, so its range of motion…

Mechanical Duo Avi/Sam

When we came to this project, we began with some physical prototyping to understand the interaction between the two robots. In doing so, we landed on a pretty…

Mechanical Duo: Jessica/Ying

Goals: Looking back at the shadow play videos, we were very interested in the wiggly motion and would like to create a performance focuses on that movement. Outcome:…

Mechanical Duo: Mingchi and Ben

Our initial goal was to make an double pendulum arm that had a much wider range of motion. This would enable us to create two actors that can…

Mechanical Duo: Abel and Tom

Goals: Create an animation of two claws on the four motors. Make the movement smooth and realistic Make the arms look expressive and alive. Outcome: We defined 10…

Mechanical Duo: Sana and Elton

For this assignment, we thought of creating waving hands using a two arm linkage. We laser cut an arm with two hands at either side with a hole…

Pendulum Duet – Mingchi/Jessica

For the pendulum duet, we decided to try to express a dialogue and imply a relationship between the two arms. In the simulator, one arm is holding the…

Pendulum Duet (Tom + Sam)

We came together with a vague understanding of the movement we wanted to compute. Upon further diving into the spiral example code, we were intrigued with the possibilities…

Pendulum Duet (Elton & Avi)

We chose to adapt the code so the double pendulum duo follows a point that goes in a S shape. We developed an illusion of the two robots…
