Westwood on the Cutting Edge

My project is building a robot using Arduino Intel Galileo and MakerBot 3D printer. Students will design a robot that looks asthetically nice, and can stand a and walk on two feet. They will model and render parts of their robot, and will 3D print the parts using MakerBot 3D printer to build the robot. Students will also program/code commands for the robot to walk on Arduino Intel Galileo. They will need to utilized their knowledge and research from multiple disciplines to be successful in this project.
 
Students will learn how to code and program for the robot which is a content from computer science. They will learn how to design a physically stable robot that can balance and be able to model the parts of a robot and build it which is a content from physics and fabrication. Students will learn to be artistic because they will need to designe an asthetically pleasing robot. They will also learn how to communicate effectively because they will need to explain their process of designing and building their robot and why their robot is better than the others. This project is AWESOME because you get to make your own robot!

 Other possible projects
  • Improve the design of a pen using 3D scanner and 3D printer.
  • Build a mind controlled car using Emotiv, Arduino TRE and 3D printer.
  • Build a trachuchet without any screws, nails, etc. using 3D printer.
  • Communicate without speaking and gestures, and only use our mind to communicate using Emotiv and RaspberryPi
  • Build an upscaled replica of a small toy or downscaled replica of a car using 3D scanner and 3D printer.
