One of the arm(human-like)
Redo body structure
Saw the base support wood at an angle so that the top board is flat
✍️To do list:
✍️To do list:
design arms (both)
make arms (both)
base!!!!!(do it in the lab)
how to attach motor?(add wooden board maybe)
finish the head(cut paper, dig holes, leave space for LED)
how to attach head? will we have a neck?

Second arm(Robot-like)
(and then use zip ties to fix the shape)
One of the arm(human-like)
Redo body structure
Saw the base support wood at an angle so that the top board is flat
How we fixed two different arms to servos:
⬅️ Zip ties & hot glue
Cut a servo horn-shaped hole in the intermediate connecting cardboard
& hot glue ➡️
✍️To do list by tomorrow:
✍️To do list by tomorrow:
arduino mega (also the circuit board)

Fix the middle column
Fix mega to the middle column
code+test servo!!!!!!!!

Made the arm move!
Completed human arm +
robotic arm
layer1
➡️
Completed the neck structure.
layer2
➡️
The red arrow is the direction of the face.
layer3
✍️To do list till next Thur:
✍️To do list till next Thur:
circuit board+soldering
make 3 servos (head、arms) move properly! (may need a extra power bank)
after this,do some fixing like servo to board...
try to do the antenna (the forth servo,dig holes...)

Plan Until Final
November 25 (after class):
• Finalize the script for the child robot
• Fix remaining bugs in the case code
• Design around 10 cases
• Produce around 10 audio files
• Write and successfully test code for ~10 cases (including the newly added LED strips)
November 26 (entire afternoon):
• Continue designing cases
• Continue producing audio files
• Continue writing and testing code — as many cases as possible
Before class on November 27:
• Complete all hardware mounting and component fixing
November 28–29:
• Finish all case development
November 30:
• Rest day
National Day Holiday — December 1 & 2:
• Complete all external elements: painting, costume, head shell, internal structural fixing, and additional small components/lights
Remaining time:
• I expect the coding process may not go as smoothly as planned, so the rest of the time will be dedicated to debugging.
