FINAL PROJECT

TINKERCAD + CODE

This is the code and wirings for our robopet .it includes an Arduino, breadboard ultrasonic sensor and a servo.

#include <HCSR04.h> #include <VarSpeedServo.h>                //Library for to run a servo with different speeds VarSpeedServo myservo;                    // create servo object to control a servo

HCSR04 ultrasonicSensor(12, 13, 22,200);  //set pins of distance sensor (trigger, echo, room temperature, maximum distance) const int power = 11;                     //declare variable power with value 11 (to be used as pin) const int trigPin = 12; const int echoPin = 13;

void setup()  {

 Serial.begin(9600);  pinMode(power, OUTPUT);                 //set pin 11 as an output (so we power our sensor)  pinMode(trigPin, OUTPUT);               // Sets the trigPin as an Output  pinMode(echoPin, INPUT);                // Sets the echoPin as an Input  ultrasonicSensor.begin();               //sets trigger as output & echo pin as input

 myservo.attach(10);                     // attaches the servo on pin 10 to the servo object  myservo.write(180, 40, true);         //set servo to 180 degrees at the speed of 50

}

void loop() {

   long duration, inches, ServoAngle, ServoSpeed;    ServoAngle=180;    ServoSpeed=100;

   delayMicroseconds(2);    digitalWrite(trigPin, HIGH);    delayMicroseconds(10);    digitalWrite(trigPin, LOW);

     duration = pulseIn(echoPin, HIGH);      inches = microsecondsToInches(duration);      if (inches != 0) {        ServoAngle=180/inches;        ServoSpeed=1000/inches;      }      Serial.print(inches);      Serial.print("in,   :");      Serial.print(ServoAngle);      Serial.print("Degree,   ");      Serial.print(ServoSpeed);      Serial.print("RPM,   ");      Serial.println();      myservo.write(ServoAngle, ServoSpeed, true); }

long microsecondsToInches(long microseconds) {  return microseconds / 74 / 2; }

FINAL PROJECT

FINAL RESULT

This is the final result of our robopet butterfly and we are so proud how it turns out to be. This picture shows the different angles of the Robopet. The robopet works with ultrasonic sensor, as the person goes near to the pet it starts moving faster and when the person moves away from it starts slowing down its movement.

FINAL PROJECT

PROCESS

We had gone through different trial and errors during our process. We wanted our robopet butterfly to be abstract pretty. So we tried different shapes that we could give to it and tested it on the rhino. After coming to the conclusion we laser cut it and made the scissors to make it move up and down. Then we started attaching all the parts to it and formed the final shape.

WEEK 10- FINAL PROJECT

INSPIRATION

When we were first introduced to the brief of having to create an artificial zoo, we were confused.  Until one day when I was doing research, I came across this beautiful image of a butterfly. I saw this beautiful multicoloured creature and I was completely fascinated. I know when one thinks off creating an artificial pet the word butterfly doesn’t come to mind but for me, these creatures are so majestic. And when given the brief we had to also think of things that our pet would be able to do or in ways it would be able to react to certain surrounds and one of the first ideas that came to mind where ‘why not create a butterfly that could change colors according to one's mood.’ Have this petite artificial butterfly change colors according to one's mood.

This is the code for the sheikha bot with Arduino wiring

WEEK 9-SHEIKHA BOT

This week I used the scissors and attached it to our Sheikhabot.  I then used the code with light sensors to test the sheikha bot. It started moving when their light went off and stopped when the light is on.The main element in the code was the light sensor.

WEEK-8-LINKAGES

This week we explore scissors systems and were assigned curves to explore. I was assigned curve A, U, D

We saw a tutorial which helped us teaching ourselves how to change curves to scissors. We had to divide the curves into segments, explode and ungroup it and begin working on it. Some of took soo long in doing it and after formed our scissors we had to laser cut them in cardboard first to experiment and after on acrylic 

This was then joined together using screws and bolts to match its profile done on the rhino. then we had to digitalize it which is the above shown as.

EXPLORING PROCESSING

I am starting to understand more of coding everyday.this is the second phase of my semester one project,

[ayishahiba-blog]

WEEK-7-EXPLORING CODING

As I am exploring coding I started experimenting with my first-semester project by creating lines from a certain point. I also experimented on how I could create less and more lines using code and using colors but found that using minimal is the best. I will be sure, by exploring more.

WEEK 7-EXPLORING CODING

Processing is an open-source graphical library builts for the generative arts, games, and visual design. it uses the Java language. This week we experimented with codes and processing to create AR games with AR markers and patterns. I have started from the basics as I am new to coding. I am learning to different colors and patterns and understanding the foundation of coding.

WEEK-6MAKING OF BIOP-PLASTIC

RECIPE-5

6tsp-water

0.5tsp-coffee

3tsp-glycerin

5tsp-powder  ilk

1/2tsp-starch

It was too liquid in the first hour and started drying, but was in a liquid state.

WEEK-6-MAKING OF BIO-PLASTIC

RECIPE-4

4tsp-water

4tsp-gelatin

2.5tsp-starch

0.5tsp-glycerin

In the first stage I could see it becoming gummy, then hardening, it was a rubberish type of feel I could get.

WEEK-6-MAKING OF BIO-PLASTIC

RECIPE

2tsp-starch

2tsp-glycerin

3tsp-water

food color

In the first stage, it was too gummy, after an hour it started hardening. I couldn't see the shrinking of bio-plastic in this recipe. the final result is that it too gummi.

WEEK-6-MAKING OF BIOPLASTIC

RECIPE-2

5tsp-water

2tsp-vinegar

0.5 tsp -glycerine

1/2tspstarch

food color

In the first stage, the texture was kind of sticky, then started hardening, at the final I could see the bioplastic shrinking and it was too hard

WEEK-6- MAKING OF BIO-PLASTIC

RECIPE -1

1tsp-vinegar

1tsp-glycerin

3tsp-water

1 tsp -starch

At first, the texture was smooth and had a bad odor, after 1 hr it started hardening and at last the texture becoming hard and I could also find a reduction in its size

CNC and Laser Cutting 

After configuring the surface on rhino and grasshopper , we sent the file to the laser cutting machine were after a few hours  it was printed. We then numbered each pices . After labelling and putting the pieces in order , we then went onto assembling the surface - group by group. The CNC is the surface after it was programmed using a highly contrasted black and white image it was then baked .
