ME 2110: Autonomous Arduino Robot

In the ME 2110 course, I was tasked to fabricate a mechatronics robot run by Arduino UNO to complete a series of tasks to win the final course competition. Through the effective use of actuators, pneumatics, and motors, I placed 5th place overall.

I succeeded in this class through the following design processes:

Crayola CAD technique: Created 2D reference sketches to determine spacing and constraints.
Progressive prototyping: Transitioned from cardboard/MDF (laser cutting) to 3D printing allowing for quick design validation.
Testing: Regularly checked and maintained our mechatronics
Learning: Embraced early failures to refine and improve final design.

Semi-Finalist Robot: SB 3000

Final Robot Assembly

The final robot was assembled using a combination of wood, MDF, 3D-printed parts, and mechatronic components.

Solidworks CAD Model

The machine was fully designed in Solidworks, with different colors to indicate different subsystems.

Additional: Learning GD&T in Solidworks

While designing a mount for a drawer slide with complex angles, flat surfaces, and varied hole sizes, I took the initiative to learn GD&T. This allowed me to apply symbolic dimensioning to the 3D-printed part for better accuracy and communication.
