Midpoint Progress Presentation
|
This presentation gave us the opportunity to explain our ideas to our classmates and get feedback. This let us identify areas for improvement in our design by hearing what people had to say. In the presentation we laid out what we had done so far and what we plan to do going forward. |
Design Defense
The design defense presentation focused on the design of our prototype and the process we followed that led to its development. Our design report and presentation video are shown below.

2D Blueprints
3D Prototype Progress
Now that our group has finished designing our 3D prototype on OnShape, we are now working on 3D printing the model so we can have a 1/2 scale physical RoboBuddy prototype. The interior electronic pieces have already been printed so our next steps are to print the head, arms, and body. We also have made a physical circuit to run the RoboBuddy code. In order to finish the circuit we are waiting on a microphone and speaker, both of which are currently being shipped.
Reflection
As our product comes together and our final deadline rapidly approaches, our productivity and time management have improved. We all realize that there is not much time left and that we have a lot of work to do. Going forward we will have to consult our mentor in psychology regarding the script for thee RoboBuddy to finalize it so we can complete the coding for the program that will be able to talk to people. Individually my time management has improved and I feel like I am contributing significantly to the project.
