Quick update for the four spring set up The four spring set up looks decent with the first layer done but it is unable to be build higher than one level as there is some problems with attaching more plates on it due to the design (I forgot to add a hole for one part of the spring). I did… Read more →

Perception of movement presentation
I aim to explain the concepts of perception of movement with many examples so that everyone in class can get what I am talking about. From my research, I realised that it is extremely hard to comprehend many concepts. One of the papers I have an extremely hard time reading is the reading by Prof Markus who was having some… Read more →
Int Dev Project Update #2: Sketch
After some sketching, I realise that I can’t just design the whole assembly of the head wear altogether. There are too many moving parts so I need a reference to start with. I decided to start with the support structure that helps to whole device to rest on the head which also resembles the bridge structure of the conventional headphones.… Read more →
Robotics Project Update #4: Concept testing
Previously on Robotics Semester Project Update I mentioned that I will be testing out on these three sketches to see how the spring assembly works for each set up. I have now made the three sketches. On the left will be sketch ONE, middle is sketch TWO and right is sketch THREE. Testing of Sketch ONE (Left of the Sketch) When… Read more →
Device of the week #4: Roly Poly By NUS (2008)
I found this device when I am just surfing on youtube finding projects for robotics. This project is done by design incubation centre in National University of Singapore (NUS). The project started with a question: Would I feel the physical presence of my close ones? While the internet provides a platform for text messaging and video calling, Roly Poly aims to… Read more →
Robotics Project Update #3: Prototyping
Printed Here are the printed parts ready for testing. The base is blue so that the distinction from the base and the spring set up is easier to identify for video documentation. There are a total of 6 circle plates that would make the main moving body. The 4 small cylinders are use to anchor the base in place when… Read more →
