For this week's assignment, It was required to It was required to work as a team, design a machine (1st week) and Automate it (2nd week).
after brainstorming we came up with many ideas:-
Coffee art machine.
Sand Art Machine
leather cutting machine using drag knife cutter.
we decided that we need to make a farmbot as we have a big garden in the backyard of the lab.
30*30 cm
2 axis machine
does seeding and watering
after thinking we found that the machine team needs 5 tasks (can be performed by one or more)
Chasis and Mechanisms design , end effector, Electronics and programming, manufacturing and assembly, and documentation.
My rule was to lead the mechanical design team and mainly design the mechanism of the machine.
I've USed Solidworks and used the 3d printers and the laser cutter to finalize the machineExploded and Collapse animation of the Design.
