Walker Project

Inspiration

Conceptual design

My specific role on the team was to act as both the team leader and the manufacturing lead for a team of 4. Which meant that I assigned tasks and helped reach deadlines while ensuring the quality of our walker. To the right is the inspired design of the side panels of the walker, the last stag from Hollow Knight.

Concept

Conceptual Analysis and Skills

Above is the initial design and walk through of a basic 2 legged walking mechanism. using GeoGebra Classic 5. The overall mechanism is very simple utilizing bars and linkages to create a oval rotational pattern.

Walker Motion Analysis

Here you can see an animation of the walker along a flat wooden floor. This was created in solidworks through motion analysis.

Electronics & IR Demonstration

The demonstration to the right showcases the IR sensors activating and deactivating the dual motors that power our walker. When one IR sensor is cover it indicates the walker has veered off the track, and so the motors spin with different angular velocities to correct the difference. Overall, our successful robot was powered by an Arduino Uno, which interpreted the signals from the IR sensor and wrote feedback to the motors.

Thanks for reading through my Walker Project.
