Remote Dog

First Working Prototype
All Wiring Done

Inspiration

Small scale remote cars, wireless Bluetooth connectivity.

What it does

It is a interactable, robotic dog that dynamically responds to movement.

How we built it

The robot dog was developed through

Challenges we ran into

It was not a smooth sail with the material we used. We were particularly unlucky that a key component that comes with the servo was a defect, forcing us to redesign our wheels so that it can interact with the existing components of the servo. When soldering, our protoboard Halfway through the wiring, we discovered that our breadboard broke down, forcing us to retro-respectively design the wiring and

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We onboarded ourselves with the CAD software rapidly, and effectively designed and 3D printed components to fit with the existing framework. We came up with innovative ideas, and thought through the execution of those ideas. We are proud of our ideation process, as we ensured that the majority of our technical aspect of the project was feasible in 2 weeks. But most importantly, we are proud of our teamwork, irrespectively of our coding genius Ray who handled the software components, or Niirvek who's our electronics' guru or that time we worked collaboratively to have the chance to 3D print our parts.

What we learned

During the development of the Remote Dog, we overestimated the reliability of the connections of the electronics and the various complications that may occur during that period. This demonstrated to us that time allocation to unforeseen circumstances. Moreover, significant understanding was gained across the board in regards to electrical systems, C++ and 3D modelling. But most importantly, we learnt that hardwire is fun!!!

What's next for Remote Dog

For future iterations of the Remote Dog additional features such as camera facial recognition, PCB integration and a better display can be implemented.
