Title of Media
As a teacher I can see that students need different funny and attractive way to encourage then to learn and solve questions without feeling bored, As when I was a kid I didn't like some topics and some times I was feeling bored,
Even as a grown up, feel that this device "Funny robot character" could help them to enjoy their sessions.
The project idea is a robot "funny and helping character- device" that has many features as:
The robot can view some a question and from the different colored buttons the student should choose the correct answer.
Then, there will be a respond from the robot "good job, excellent, try again .........." with sound and body language.
After many times of right answers the robot can give a present "candy".
Also, I can control the actions of the robot using the mobile phone.
Construction Parts
The body of the robot and the head can be designed on fusion 360 then can be fabricated by using laser cutting machine.
The hands connection and some internal parts can be designed on fusion360 and fabricated by 3D printer.
Input
(Sensing, Tactile Input, and/or Graphical Input)
Input: It will be through a mobile app. or the colored buttons.
Action
(Physical and/or Graphic)
Physical action:
The robot can:
make action like saying some words to encourage the students (excellent & try again )
Move hands (thumb up & thumb down) .
Open a certain part to allow the student take a candy.
Graphical action:
The robot can:
Write a message on the screen "I love you, good job, study more, ............. "
Connected to the computer to answer some questions.
Brain
An Arduino board would act as the smart device's brain that processes the Input and send orders to perform the Action
Power Management
The device contains an independent power source such as an adapter (5 volt) specially for the two servomotor
Using a cardboard and other tools I build up this model

Video shows the mechanism of moving the hands
Minimum Features: are the least amount of features that would demonstrate the coverage of all the technical modules and their complete integration
Complete Features: are the set of features that will complete your original project objective and vision
Nice-to-have Features: are the extra set of features that will make the project cooler, yet they need extra time, effort, and/or resources to finish
Minimum User Features
The robot can make some response to the orders which comes from Mobile app:
Action: Moving hands by servo motors
Sensing: non
User Input: Mobile app "Bluetooth module"
Action: producing sound as a respond through speakers and mp3 module.
Sensing: non
User Input: Mobile app "Bluetooth module"
Action: some lights by RGB led
Sensing: non
