THE CREATIVE PROCESS I first got inspired by the old wood base that I got laying around at my workplace. I could easily see how I could make some kind of humanoid that would be attached to it. I began by choosing the component for the eye , I first...
There were couple points in time when I was in need of: a purpose for a SBC i've had laying around;a platform to experiment with general purpose embedded system that ran Linux;a case to dip my toes into elaborate electronic box design in CAD of choice...
I wanted to make a model Death Star (because, well, who doesn't?), but I didn't want to spend weeks recreating the original - I like minimalism; I wasn't after a detailed reconstruction, I wanted to make something that captured the essence of the Death...
Peeqo - the GIF BotPeeqo is a personal desktop robotic assistant who expresses himself through GIFs. Think of him as the love child of Amazon Echo and a Disney character. He has a conversational UI, so he responds to voice commands but answers only through...
Making the Fox Head I'd never made a puppet head before but I'm pretty crafty and during my cosplay days I'd discovered the material Worbla, which is a thermoplastic that can be easily shaped when heated and has adhesive on one side that is also heat...
1.Introduction As part of our student project called Speak4Me we want to help people who are unable to communicate verbally and suffer from severe physical disabilities by providing a wearable “eye-to-speech” solution that allows...
[Intro] {Updated 2/25/2016}VisualK-OS collectively refers my custom-built system of lighting devices, intended for use with my band's (Saturn's Iris) live shows. To date, the system consists of: The main control center, Thor and the Flood Bank Array...
I use this form to create biometric shirts that fit me. For this I needed a form that was accurate in capturing my dimensions, but was also articulated so that I could test a garment as it undergoes extremes of motion.I could not find any good off-the-shelf...
UPDATE June 19th, 2017: This Project Is Resurrected In a More General Use Concept, which you can read about here. A Wearable IoT Development Board for Body Sensing and Cloud Applications.My product goal was to get an integrated microcontroller digital/analog...
Design Goals; I started out with the following design goals for the next generation of Kite Lightsfor the controller:Thru-hole for proof of concept and version 1. Later move to Surface mount to reduce size and weightForm factor needs to be long and narrow...
Each sculpture will be made from a series of laser cut layers made of either plywood or acrylic that will fit together through three spine pieces, creating a sculpture of a human. Each sculpture will then be completely wrapped in plastic wrap. Each sculpture...
Someone in the United States has a stroke every 40 seconds, and every 80 seconds one stroke takes place in Russia. The spasticity is the most common post stroke consequence. Post-stroke rehabilitation can make people healthy again, and the faster the...
I 3D printed a "holster" that can hold a single LIon cell or 2 that are soldered in parallel. That seems to be a pretty common configuration in laptop batteries. Then I purchased a set of battery contacts from Amazon and some common LIon charger...
I've searched for a wearable Internet of Things development platform for my needs, and I didn't find what I wanted. Sure, there's a bunch of IoT wearable development boards out there. Some were all in one designs with gyroscopes and accelerometers for...
The project will be developed in stages, first focusing on the basic hardware platform and AI core, creating the first functional prototype. First prototypeSticking with existing, readily available technology, the skeleton for CAT's first prototype will...
