Pretty much from the moment I saw this in class I knew I wanted to do something with motion. I like this idea of structures designed for motion, not just mechanical hinges but a flexible structure that is designed to fold and articulate. Of the ones we got to see during the presentation, I really liked this crab one. Mostly because it serves a dual purpose, when it moves it both pulls itself along but it also tenses its claws allowing to grab something. For my final project I want to focus on creating a moving structure that functions as a tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In terms of Deliverables<\/strong>, having looked into the creation of this particular design, there are a lot more moving parts that I first suspected. It’s almost constructed like a Lego with various segments responsible for different functionality. So I think reasonably I’ll probably only create one flexible claw. However that one design I expect to be pretty large, maybe a foot long, and I would like it to be able to hold some amount of weight (like at least a cup or similar).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for a Timeline<\/strong>, I’d like to start experimenting with designs the week of November 3rd. For that week I want to explore types of flexible structures, whether it would be best to use a single solid form or multi part structure and see what would be most practical and functional for a final product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the week of November 10th, I hope to finalize the structure I plan to use for my final form and begin prototyping how the final build is going to move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the week of November 17th I hope to be well along in prototyping, and begin constructing my final build. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the week of November 24th constructing the final build should be well under way along with general time to refine any problems I come across and general polish before presenting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In terms of inspiration, I mostly dug into the works done by Morphing Matter Labs who were the group that originally worked on the crab design shown above. There were two papers FRESH-Printing of a Multi-actuator Biodegradable Robot Arm for Articulation and Grasping<\/a> and PneuMesh: Pneumatic-driven Truss-based Shape Changing System<\/a> that I really drew inspiration from. FRESH had an interesting structure that consisted of a single printed structure and uses hydraulics by pushing fluid through the structure to achieve it’s motion. PneuMesh on the other hand is the crab one, it is multi-part and relies on cables to achieve motion. They each provide different approaches to similar ends and I’ll be drawing on both when deciding how to create my final form.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
