- Tell us about the idea of your project. Why do you care about this? What were you inspired by? Include images and videos of similar projects
I am passionate about bio-robotics which are robots inspired by nature and mimic how organisms act. many creatures have this magnificent ability to generate enough power for lifting off and these creatures have been varied in their way for taking off from using gears and springs in spring tale insect, or restoring energy and making a reflex-like in Click beetles or using powerful muscles in hind limbs like Kangaroos
so here I am inspired to design a robot that mimics the kangaroo or galago and have higher functions and stability in jumping

3. What are the core modules that your project consist of?
The jumping bot will be consisted of:
Construction parts:
The poly/wheel will be built using 3D printing or wood sheets the constructed in a double layer way
The legs or supporting system will be built with a laser cutting machine on wood or acrylic
The base will be an enclosure for a safe landing and a component's enclosure
Input
The input will be through an ON/OFF switch and a mobile app to control the jumping direction and taking off power
an ultrasonic sensor or IR sensor will be used for two separated functions one to avoid obstacles the other in tracking
a potential self-control bot can be assigned without the controlling app
Action
expecting the bot to jump in good timing and land safely avoid hitting objects while jumping
The brain:
Arduino Uno will be used as the brain of the bot and will process the info from the output
4. Describe the general functions and features of your project. How would it work?
4. Describe the general functions and features of your project. How would it work?
The Jumping bot will have the ability to mimic living creatures which uses jumping as a way for mobility also elaborates the mechanism of generating force and landing safely after rabid jumping.
it will also introduce some tracking ways while jumping and might have a multiple jumps at one shot.

5- Categorize your project’s User Features into: Minimum, Complete, and Nice-to-have features. List the required action and input components per feature.
5- Categorize your project’s User Features into: Minimum, Complete, and Nice-to-have features. List the required action and input components per feature.
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 Features:
Powered by only an ON/OFF switch
Only jumping might Fail to land
Ultrasonic sensor fails to works as proposed
Complete User Feature:
The jumping is synchronized with the ultrasonic sensor
ability to steer the bot
successful landing
IR sensor works and allows the tracking
Nice to have:
Controlling the jumping height
Controlling with a mobile app
IR sensor works and allows the tracking

6. What are the expected milestones and its time-frame?
Two weeks of the Diploma will be divided accordingly
Research and Development 1st February - 15th Feb
Research all the components
Look up power requirements for all component
Calculate power source V & I
Design Parts 19th Feb - 23th Feb
Create a Cardboard Enclosure
Create CAD on Fusion 360
Create Mounting for components
Electronics & Programming 24th Feb - 28th March
Programming micro controller
Design circuit and test on "Tinkercad"
Testing the circuit with all the sensors
Fabrication & Integration 28th Feb - 2th March
Fabricate and assemble the enclosure
Mount all components
Test minimum features
Test complete features
If time available work on nice to have features.
7. What are the expected electronic components and materials to be used?
7. What are the expected electronic components and materials to be used?
At First a trial will made to check the response of electronic components within the task time so :
1. Arduino Uno (within the kit)
2.Motor driver (Within the kit)
3. 9V Battery
4.Jumper wires (within kit)
5.Dc motors (with Gearbox)
6.Ultrasonic Sensor
In Case of working Model:
