HIGH-FIVING WIRELESS ROBOT
Description
As the final project for my electromechanical systems class, my partner and I created a wirelessly-driven robot that could operate an elevator and navigate to the dean of mechanical engineering to give him a high-five!
My Role
Led Raspberry Pi software development
Created a simple webpage that operated the robot
Collaborated with my partner to develop the mechanical design of the robot
Overview
The base of my robot was a GoPiGo3 Raspberry Pi Robot Car which I used previously. Then in Python, I integrated the GoPiGo controls with Flask and created a web interface using HTML so that I could drive the robot from my phone or laptop. Lastly, my partner and I built structures onto the robot so that it was tall enough to high-five someone and had a mechanism that could push the elevator button. See a video of the robot below!
