Final Project - The Musical Mask
Pitch:
The musical mask was envisioned as a primitive mask-like object that had the ability to “sing” – or more accurately, read the music that was playing in a connected device and react to different parts of said music.
Concept and sketches:
The mask would have been constructed out of either 3D Printed Polymer, or Laser cut acrylic plates, assembled with glue. Intended Read more →
Typebot
Typebot: a robot with the basic purpose of typing out words on a keyboard.
Typebot taught me a lot of things I had previously assumed about robotics:
Materials and construction methods matter. Typebot was jury-rigged together with leftover wood, tape and blu-tack. It ended up being extremely unstable and did not have the structural strength to actually type. Programming a robot is a Read more →BehaviorBot - Elephant Trunk

Final Semester Project: Living Field of Flowers
Pitch:
Idea – Our idea for this living/breathing robot was inspired by nature itself. The aim of this robot is to show how beautiful our nature is, but also that nature wants to remain untouched.
Goal – We want to create a little field of flowers that moves/breathes when no one (no movement) is around. The movements can be recognized by Read more →

Progress from Prototype 2 In the morning of my scheduled final laser-cutting, I received news that the machine was down. Thus, I booked another slot the next day and kept in touch with several people for updates regarding the machine. Even though there were some hiccups that happened when Read more →

Jellica – Prototype 2
Further Research I took reference from Arthur Ganson’s 23 Scraps of Paper mechanism for my Jellica’s linear movement.

I also sketched out the final structure of Jellica and its mechanism.
Laser-Cutting Session 2 I decided to have another round of laser-cutting to improvise the arms and have some parts of the Read more →
