3D model
Before an idea can become a product, it must first be visualised. To do this, we created a 3D model of our robot. The model shows what the robot should look like and how the individual components are arranged. It also gives us a first impression of what the robot will look like in reality and what materials we need to build it.
Here you can see the 3D model of our robot. It shows what the robot will look like and how the individual components are arranged. The robot is almost 2 metres high and is made of aluminium and plastic. It has two arms that can move independently of each other, as well as a gripper with which it can grasp and move objects. The robot can also move up and down to reach objects at different heights.
Z-axis: Movement up and down
Here you can see the mechanism for the Z-axis carriage. The carriage is driven by a motor that is connected to a toothed belt. The motor moves the carriage along the Z-axis, enabling the robot to move horizontally.
Here you can see the mechanism that controls an arm. The arm is driven by a motor that is connected to a toothed belt. By moving the motor, the connected toothed belt rotates the axis of the arm, allowing the arm to move to the left and right.
