Inspiration
The Farewell Terrance project is inspired by a friend who recently graduated. He enjoys innovative products that motivate leading a healthy lifestyle.
What it does
The design involves reorienting a camera mount using hand gestures and the Myo technology. The camera can rotate about the z axis.
How I built it
The structure of the robot is designed using SolidWorks, the components are cut using a laser cutter and put together with hot glue and duct tape
Challenges I ran into
On the software side, we initially ran into difficulty with configuring the servo-motors and understanding their range of mobility. Once complete, the second challenge we faced interfacing the Myo hand gestures with the each respective motors using Arduino.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
The team initially ran into troubles deciding on an idea but by the end of the first day, we were able to come together and apply the unique skills we've learned in engineering to design an innovative project.
What I learned
To use hand control gestures and imu-emg systems in combination to drive mechanical systems.
What's next for Farewell Terrance
Use the MYO to use hand gestures to better create mechanisms to demonstrate the feasibility of biomimicry.
