In fall 2013, I and my three teammates designed a friendly, 3D-printed walking robot in collaboration with Intel's open-source robotics project. Our version of the robot was intended to emote charmingly and be operated by one servo per degree of freedom.
I was responsible for the design of the knee and ankle pitch. Both mechanisms were gear-driven and had a factor of safety of two. The knee and ankle pitch joints required a high awareness of various loading cases.
As a final deliverable, we produced a BOM including all costs, a full drawing package, clear assembly instructions, and suggestions for design revisions . It required a knowledge of loading cases and motor power. This project developed my ability to work on larger mechanical design teams.
