Exo-Skeletal Arm
This project was intended for personal research into the field of prosthetics and wearable technology that modifies human performance.
Unlike previous projects, all technology is developed by me without any branded components like the use of the Arduino platform. The arm was able to lift 12-15kg of weight with minor assistance from my own arm motion.
Components: PIC16F84FA Microcontroller, IBT-4 Motor driver, Windshield wiper motor. Printed with ABS
Bipedal Bluetooth Robot - QUBE
QUBE was a Bluetooth humanoid robot I designed, 3d printed and programmed from scratch during my first year at sixth form. I was awarded the 2019 Engineering Scholarship award from the Bedfordshire and Luton chamber of commerce in conjunction with Veruth Holdings for this project.
The robot consists of 15 servos driven by a PCA9685 module via I2C communication with an Arduino and controlled by an android smartphone from an app I had designed specifically for it. Printed with PLA on a personal Flashforge Finder 3D printed and designed on Fusion 360.
Bionic Hand
Designed and 3D printed bionic arm from scratch after teaching myself CAD software during year 11. The hand could be controlled by a remote glove with rough flex sensors made of paper and graphite on each finger to detect hand positioning.
Components: An Arduino UNO, MG996R Servos, a PCA9685 module and simple 5v regulator circuit. Printed with PLA.
Maze Solving Robot – SLAR
Very first project I worked on during school in year 11 where my interest in engineering begun and began teaching myself things from books and the internet. The robot was able to navigate a basic square maze. Made use of HC-SR04 ultrasonic distance sensors on all faces to map out its location relative to the maze and an algorithm dedicated to finding an exit.
