Proj 1: Animal
Harambot 4000 Model E
The Harambot 4000 Model E was invented by Liam Durant and Yekwon Park. The robot functions with a brick that resembles the body, and 4 motors attached to the brick that resemble the legs of a gorilla. There are also ultrasonic sensor and touch sensor attached to represent eyes and chest, respectively. First, the motors […]
Kermit the Frog
Duc Nguyen and Julia Ferreira Intro to Engineering: Robotics Robotic Animal For our robotic animal, we decided to make a frog. We used the brick as the body and attached two motors to either side. To each motor, we attached a white, angled piece to serve as the […]
Chris and Kevin’s Robot Frog
The robot consists of two motors (rear) connected with a long axle to the frog’s legs, a single motor (front) that moves its tongue back and forth and an ultrasonic sensor that is used for finding distance proximity of obstacles. We attached two wheels to the robot’s front legs for greater balance and traction. All […]
Kevin and Lucy’s Bat
For our robotic bat project, we decided to make a robotic bat. On the mechanics side, we decided to build our robot around the EV3 brick. Our robot uses 3 motors total, 2 for the wheels and a 3rd to allow the head to articulate side to side. Jutting out on either side of our […]
Robotic Scorpion
For our robotics project, we decided to create a robotic scorpion. We started off by designing the base and leg movement,so we used tracks for the legs to emphasize the side-legs of a scorpion. Mounted on top of the base is the EV3 brick connected to 4 motors and 2 sensors (ultrasonic and touch). […]
Little Hoppit the Punching Kangaroo
(Faizan Muhammad and Adan Leos) Introduction: Let me introduce you to Little Hoppit, the punching kangaroo. Coming here all the way from the Austrailego Outback, this robot is something not to be trifled with. Should you dare an attempt to touch the kangaroo’s pouch in the front, Hoppit begins to hop away from you as […]
Melman the Giraffe
Jason Figueroa and Daniel Geary. For our robot animal project we built a giraffe. We went with a long neck design to make sure that it is obivious that our robot represented a giraffe. Behind the neck are reinforcement legos to keep it sturdy and strong. Connected to the neck is a weak motor […]
Geoff the RoboDog
David Carratu Paul Gelhaus Project Description For this project we wanted to created a robot of an animal that we were both familiar with the movements so that we could accurately recreate them in our robot. Therefore, both us having pet dogs back home, we decided on creating a robotic dog named RoboDog. For […]
The Other Elephant Also Named Jumbo
Ahmed Gado and David Janowsky For our animal robot, we built an elephant (aptly named Jumbo). The robot uses two large motors, one medium motor, and the speaker for outputs, and it uses the ultrasonic sensor and the touch sensor as inputs. By default, Jumbo moves forward. When approaching an object in front of […]
Jumbo The Elephant
Taswar Mahbub and Katie Elliott Our robot is an elephant. We use two wheels and a ball caster to make the robot move. The two wheels are attached to two motors and these are triggered by the touch sensor. While the sensor is pressed down, the two motors with the two wheels attached rotate […]
Jen and Thu
The robotic dog we created walks forward when someone touches its nose and it wags its tail when someone comes close to pet it. A touch sensor is the input that acts as the “nose” of the dog. The two motors on the side that act like dog’s legs they are the output that react […]
