Assembling Functional Robot from Designed Roco Components and Electronics

William Shih

This week I focused on fine tuning my RoCo component designs to fit with the electronics and assemble my first fully functional cut and fold robot. I wanted to make sure that my method for production would be feasible before I continued designing more components for robots with more functionalities....

Customizing Modular Components in RoCo to Allow for Easier Electronics Assembly

William Shih

This week I spent a lot of time familiarizing myself with making cutouts in RoCo which was quite difficult compared to creating the components by connecting faces, edges, and tabs. Creating cutouts and knowing how to position them in RoCo is particularly important and relevant to my project because...

Designing New Modular Robotic Components and Programming Motors to Simulate Motion

William Shih

This past week, I focused on designing more modular components to add to Roco as well as programming motors using the Arduino microcontroller to familiarize and simulate different types of motion. I was able to understand Roco much better through the process of designing these new components; specif...

Creating New Components with RoCo to Extend Applications of Modular Robots

William Shih

These past weeks, I've been experimenting with Interactive Robogami which is an end-to-end design system for ground locomotion robots. It greatly simplifies the design for cut and fold robots, has a library of modular components to choose from, and has many performance and fabrication metrics includ...

Testing Pivoting Car and Differential Car

Jillian Naldrien Pantig

For SURP 2021’s Week 9, I worked on the pivoting car. It is a car that has a hinge in the middle. On its hinge is a SG90 servo that rotates the half of the car to a certain direction. Below is a photo of the pivoting car. During this week, Jaehoon Song (LEMUR Arnhold) also managed to generate/di...

Integrating an OpenMV camera to an origami car to create visual feedback control

Jillian Naldrien Pantig

During SURP 2021’s week 8, Bhavik Joshi (Team Arnhold), Marisa Duran (Team Arnhold), and I managed to integrate the vision processing and feedback controlled cars epic. Using Marisa’s OpenMV code and my code for controlling the cars, we were able to put an OpenMV camera in one of my four-wheeled o...

Controlling three origami cars with one joystick using mesh networking

Jillian Naldrien Pantig

During SURP 2021’s Week 7, Bhavik Joshi (Team Arnhold) and I were able to create a swarm of car robots using his Mesh Networking code and my cars. The cars were controlled by a single joystick through Sudarshian Seshadri’s (Team Arnhold) React-app dash. A gif of the car swarm is attached below. ...
