SpiMon the Robo-Pet:
SpiMon is our interpretation of a monkey and spider fusion. Initially, it hadn’t been within our plan to pursue this particular medley of animals, but, over time, we found it to be an entertaining idea that might plausibly result in a fun, interactive toy that showcases the animals’ attributes.
As such, we looked to the internet for ideas, and sought to find appropriate materials to substitute as the spider’s lower body, which led us to a DIY acrylic insect kit. We disassembled it and opted to use spindles (which act as the spider legs–see gray spindles), the intersection joints (which make up the joinery system–see blue hinges), and the suspension bridge (which holds the legs and motor together–see blue body).
We then acquired gears for the motor (which is a Brushed DC Motor fit for Arduino application) and connected that to the Arduino board, which we wired and programmed using basic tutorials and feedback (we used a standard PIR Motion Sensor to move the motor). And so, after ensuring that the motor reacted accordingly, we stuck the breadboard and Arduino board onto the back of our spider skeleton, and then glued on the decapitated monkey head.
