The purpose of this project is to explore jumping technologies for toy applications. To ensure the end result meets the main customer need to provide entertainment value to our customer. This product will be the first of its kind. We aim at building a system that jumps and lands in a stable position for relaunching.
The end user of the RooBot product is an R/C hobbyist at least 12 years old. Not satisfied with the current market offerings, the user is seeking a remote-controlled robot with a novel mode of locomotion and simple, intuitive controls for recreational use.
The RooBot product is a remote-controlled robot, similar in use to an R/C car, boat, plane, or helicopter. The key differentiator for this product is its unique mode of locomotion: jumping. It moves from one point to another solely by jumping and changing direction when necessary. Since direct control of the system’s mechanical actuation would be very complicated at the lowest level, the RooBot’s user interface abstracts the control method into something that is more easily understood by the novice user. For example, instead of deciding how long to charge the jump actuator and control the speed/ direction of every individual motor, the user is provided with a single dial to select the jumping power and a single button to execute the jumping motion.
