Nothing new to report on the design front. Everyone is working on their tasks to prep for what will hopefully soon be an application that we can test! We finalized the last portion of the design doc around a week ago and that was to finalize the audio functionality of the application. Allowing users to import audio and modify accordingly, if all goes well with implementation we may have the ability for users to record within the application and have them dynamically synch to servos. This would allow users to synch several servos to an audio clip and have them react to it.
I have reached out to the Hardware team to see if they are on track and need any assistance from the design team. I talked to Ali earlier today and was able to help him out in designing and creating the stand that the Polar Bear robot will stand on so it can be tested once the app is ready. The original design for the stand was not as sturdy and low profile as I would like it so we were able to design a low profile (only 2 inch) stand that allowed for the polar bear to stand on all fours and have his head positioned right. It is quite a simple design and could be used for other robots once hardware have completed them.
It was nice to see the polar bear once again and have it stand by itself and not lying around like a dead polar bear. His movements are quite realistic and should look good once we can input some commands to the servos via our application.
I would like hardware, for that added touch, get some fabric and drape the fabric on and around the stand. It would hide the stand very well and also give that professional look to the entire thing!
Cheers,
Dan
