We wanted to solve the problem of dealing with stress, a challenge that every student faces. We decided that a creative way to address this was by creating a robotic companion, a lamp that can sense your emotional state and react with motion and light.
Senses heart rate, and if heart rate is too high (minimum threshold), lamp pulses and petals move to invoke idea of deep breathing and remind to stay calm
3D printed shell, laser cut some hardware, modeled in Fusion360 and Nomad Sculpt.
Challenge of making design look sleek, like a real product, and also being able to fit all necessary electronics inside.
Successful clean outside look that incorporates all components of our original goals.
Best to prioritize the main parts of our project as opposed to auxiliary parts.
Getting camera to work to visually sense emotion! And incorporating speaker functionality to play music. Hardware already present, just need the camera-specific software.
