About Project

The team members produce this project to make a two-legs robot and to hold a workshop

A workshop is a hands-on course. The Dengiken also offers a variety of workshops. for elementary school students. This project has four steps.

Design

The team members designed and printed using "Fusion 360" in this project.

Programming

The team members made 5 programming examples.

Stepping
Brisk walking
Slowly walking
Backward walking
Use a function with walking

Preparation of Workshop Texts

Made by us

▲Cover of The This Textbook

This text has three contents.
First, the Bipedal Robot assemblage textbook.
Second, how to install the programming software.
Third, the programming explanation textbook.

Production of Instructional Videos

The team members made an explanation video. This is because students can improve the program without TA after the workshopA workshop is a hands-on course. The Dengiken also offers a variety of workshops..

The team members hold a workshop

A workshop is a hands-on course. The Dengiken also offers a variety of workshops., which is for elementary school students cooperating with the SHIBAURA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY. Also, the team members made a textbook for the workshop

A workshop is a hands-on course. The Dengiken also offers a variety of workshops.. It was a very valuable experience.

Why do the team members use a 3D printer in this project?

There are three reasons.

First, to keep the cost down.

This project's goal is to hold a workshopA workshop is a hands-on course. The Dengiken also offers a variety of workshops. for elementary school students. Therefore, this project uses a 3D printer because the team members want to keep the cost down.

Second, to make the robot lighter.

As stated previously, the team members want to keep the cost down. Therefore, they use an inexpensive motor, which can be bulk buying. However, this motor's torque, which is power to lift, is weak, since they need to make the robot lighter. That is why they use a 3D printer.

Third, our club has a regulated environment, which can use a 3D printer.

Our club “DengikenDengiken is the club we belong to. The abbreviation is Dengiken. Each of us has our own project and conducts the research we want to do.” has twelve 3D printers. Therefore, the team members can use a 3D printer.

▲This picture is an activity log of this project.

The team members spend a half year on robot design and programming. After robot completion, they did minor fixes. After that, they make textbooks and a budget. They spent about two years finishing this project.

▲This picture was taken while they were preparing for the workshopA workshop is a hands-on course. The Dengiken also offers a variety of workshops..

First, the money problem. Price suppression is the most difficult problem. This is because some parts cannot be suppressed inexpensively. Therefore the team members are to substitute the spacer, which gives more height, a 3D printer. On the other hand, when girl students come, it is difficult to turn a screw for them, etc.. They pointed out some problems. Therefore, before the workshop

A workshop is a hands-on course. The Dengiken also offers a variety of workshops., the member did tapping, which made it easier for screws to pass through.

This project can make various color robots that change filaments

Filament is a tubular resin used in the Fused Filament Fabrication, which can be wound onto a reel and is easy to handle., so it responds to girl students. Therefore, this project's goal is "Through the experience of programming a robot, which is made by themself, more students are interested in the 3D printer.".
