Machine Controlled By ArduinoAbstractThis paper presents an Arduino-controlled Spirographtm-style drawing machine suitable for useat a Maker event. Visitors can use the machine to make unique artwork to take home.Instructions to build the drawing machine are provided. Potential pedagogical uses of thedrawing machine range from learning hands-on construction techniques, to programming,trigonometry, and interaction with a user through sensors.OverviewThis paper provides instructions on how to build a pantograph drawing machine using anArduino UNO microcontroller, a reflectance sensor, two rc-servo motors, and a sheet of foamcore poster board. It is based on the work of Erik Brunvand, Ginger Alford, and Paul Stout [1,2]and extended by using a

, whichbounces off a reflective surface and returns to the sensor. Then, using the amount of time it takesfor the wave to return to the sensor, the distance to the object can be computed.The ultrasonic range finder emits a high-frequency sound wave that alerts the robot to things inits path. A Programming Kit is needed to change the program in the VEX Controller. These arespecific behaviors achieved by the ultrasonic range finder: measure distances from 1.5in to115in; detect obstacles using high frequency sound waves; create more autonomous functions.The sensor can be used to determine distances to objects. It can be used as a tool to determine ifany objects are in the robot’s path at all. To increase the sensing range, the sensor can bemounted to a

A domestic service robot canfulfill these demands easily. Therefore, home monitoring and surveillance is a good example ofthe basic applications that robots can easily do for us, and it can serve as the first step for thosewho are willing to learn mobile robotics from the scratch to finished products.In this RET project unit, students will learn how to build the robot which can patrol and monitorour house condition when we are away from home.

Audiencemembers were encouraged to name the constellations, and to arrange their stars in other patterns.The material colours were chosen to reflect the ranges found in star formations as they age,providing the attendees with additional information about astronomy.The operation of the stars was that of a simple circuit containing the four basic circuitcomponents: a power source, wires, a load, and a switch.

Creating these simulations allowsthe concepts of Lean to be thought in a “game” based scenario called Gamification7. The concept ofGamification is applied in order to use a set of games in a series of contexts to transmit knowledge moreeffectively to any type of audience, from kids to technical experts in specific areas.

. Parametric solid modelling and surface modelling are the basic CAD technologies. Solid modelling creates a model that has the filled volume. It closely represents a physical object by having data of physical properties such as mass, density, along with the geometric information. Surface modelling, on the other hand, generates the outlook of the objects as a surface model but doesn’t reflect the physical properties as in a solid model. Solid modelling is preferred over surface modelling in AM as it has simpler representation of geometric information and provides information that is useful to generate tool path. 4. 3D scanning technology enables reverse engineering of a physical part

Rather than searching for a tool in the lab, a studentis able to simply view the appropriate tool catalog in NX and CATIA, and determine if the tool isavailable. This is not to say that specialty tools cannot be used within the workflow.
