Final Project Proposal

Project Ideation

When I was young, and like all children, I always imagined a robot resembling a human, like in cartoon movies. However, when I grew up and my work became related to robots in one way or another, the urge to see a human robot remained within me. Later, I learned that it is called a humanoid. And since it is a frequently asked question in every first session for children about robots.. So I decided to satisfy my passion and that of my children and make a Humanoid Robot.

I know that a project like this will to much for the time allowed and for the available capabilities, but I found that it is possible to start by building part of it and develop it later to become integrated. For this reason, I chose only one of the organs of the human body, which is the eye.

So, My project will be a simulation for Human Eye Movements and it's Expressions.

I will use some of the motors to give me movements in all directions, with parts printed using 3D printing technology to represent the external parts of the eye, and other parts cut using a laser cutting machine to represent the connections between the eye and the motors to transmit movement.

The eyes will be controlled either by voice or by using a joystick or keypad to provide ease of moving from one expression to another. I would also like to add a pixel screen to add smiles or other expressions, or rather to represent the robot's mouth.

All of this is interconnected through a back stand with a motor installed to add movement to the face as a whole

I will make two electrical circuits, the first of which is a power circuit to power all the motors, screen, sensor, or any electrical component, and an Ahri circuit to connect them all via one Arduino Uno.

1st Step: Sketching

Project Planning

Technical Modules

Construction Parts

The whole design will be using Fusion 360
Holder & Joints " Wil be fabricated using laser cutting machine & 3mm wood "
Eyes "Will be fabricated using 3D printer & PLA filaments"
All parts will connect together using screws & nuts

Input

(Sensing, Tactile Input, and/or Graphical Input)

The input will be using one of the following methods:

Keypad, key press or Joystick"Minimum"
Sensor: Voice Detection, Sound Sensor or Color Sensor
AI Voice Recognition

Action

(Physical and/or Graphic)

The robot will present different emotions like smiling, sadness, surprise, .... as a basic feature then i'll work to make the robot follow your instructions like looking at specific direction or follow your gestures and that by 2 main parts .. Eye movement & mouth monitoring.

Eye movement "Using Servo Motors":

Blinking
Directions ( Right - Left - Up - Down )
Focusing
Staring
......

Mouth Phase Monitoring "OLED or Matrix - not sure":

Smile
normal
Sad

Brain

Arduino Uno

Power Management

Power circuit with Adaptor or lithium batteries

Prototype
