Robotic Class Assignment 2 – puppot by Hanna and Jonas

This mini project compere to the typbot was more about giving the robot a character. The first thing that came to our minds was a puppet doll and that was what become our inspiration for this project.

We started to by sketching up some ideas on how the marionette doll was going to look like, we decided to make it as simple and possible so we went with giving the puppet no limbs.

This was the first sketch and from here we needed to know how to construct it. The main problem was how to get the servos un top of each other with arms that are not supposed to collide. We decided to build boxes with the laser printer and the sketch for that looked like this.

And the result of this became what you can see in the video!

The construction could have been improved by putting the cross more in the middle, but by not doing that we got some unpredictable movements out of the puppet witch really made improvements for the dancing part.
