Robota-Suki (Part 2)


Here comes the Robota-Suki

This is no kidding man! 1 month of hardwork, with other assignments on hand, we have to start doing the assignments simultaneously. 9am till 12.30pm, go for lunch, then back to workshop, from 2.30pm till 5.30pm. Oh gosh, life is so busy!!!! Oh wait, that was for the first 2 weeks, the next two weeks, we need to rush for it till 4am early in the morning!! Can you just imagine the panda eyes of mine now? I seriously need a super eyebag removal mask now. But thanks for the hardwork of everyone, we got 14/15 !!!!!

Well, Robota-Suki has a base (the shoulder), first joint(the elbow) the second joint (the wrist) and also the tool manipulator (the fingers). The structure of Robota-Suki is made of the Perspex (the one in transparent). We made some measurement on the perspex and i did actually used the saw to cut it into pieces. The motor is taken from motor of car power window, which cost us RM 45 each. The wheel is made of polycarbonate ( from milling and turning machine). The back bone of the structure is the solid steel, and also the hollow aluminium. What actually holds all the joints together is the strings on the pulley. The strings are just like our muscles, tendon, and also ligament. Woah...it's just like a human arm! Amazing..

Just imagine how you move your arm, from the shoulder till the fingers to grap the things. It applies to Robota-Suki too. The base can rotate, the joints can move up and down, its like you move your hand forward, and the tool manipulator are control by the servo motor. When there is an object, the tool manipulator will open and grap the object.

The tool manipulator, and that's the servo motor by Cytron. Does it looks like the eyes, with eyebrows, and it shows a happy face !! *teehee**
Love it so much..
This is when the joints move up, ready to move forward to grap the abject.

p/s: Dr. Ibrahim did ask us how many marks that we deserve. Honestly, i really think we deserve it based on the effort we put in, the sleepless nights we had, the improper meals...
Dr Ibrahim, thanks for noticing the hard work that we put into doing this, we appreciate it much!! And to my teammates, thanks for teaching me all this while, i do learnt alot from you all, doing all those so-called man job, dealing with all those huge oily scary machine, and who the hell said that a girl can't do that job !!! Screw...
