Collaborators

We worked on this assignment with Maurits Dijkman, Bianca Filip, Ewoud Janus, Emilia Pavel,  and myself of course. As explained in the previous session, I created the attachments, shell and toolkit box for our final project. I rendered the 3D files I created which where then used on the poster in Figure 1. I helped film the video, and was also the presenter as can be seen in Video 1, explaining our case, and at the end reflecting on the issues we found and the subsequent solutions.

Reflection

My collaboration in the video was filming, presenting. As you can see I talked about the case and the improvements that we made to the robot after testing. My contribution was largely in the preparation of our prototype and the props that you see in the video. I made the toolkit and the props itself apart from the cards and the manual. I made the box and the shell for Alan with cardboard, the other props were designed in the CAD software Autodesk Fusion 360 and subsequently 3D-printed. I also made the renders for the props which can be seen in the diagram on Figure 1 - Poster.

Overall I'm very happy with how the poster and video turned out. I would only make a few stylistic changes, it would have been nice to have a better setting to film in, better lighting and nicer looking space. I would also have liked to make the toolkit a bit more realistic than its current very prototype form. I would have like for the box it comes in to be made from wood and have a more professional feel to it. I would also have liked to 3D-print a proper shell for the robot, as it was very flimsy. But due to time and material constraints I was not able to make these changes in the first place.
