Creating a Robot to Tie a Knot with Lego Mindstorm :: Robotics

AbstractThe point of structure this robot was to have itsuccessfully complete and tie a k non. The pilot burneridea was to have the robot tie knots creating a bangle. Unfortunately, the process of tying a knotalone was too much work to give and move on to an constitutional watchband. I had neither the time nor the perceptivity tobuild a flexible and usable arm. I tested and special a design from the Lego Mindstorms book, butfound that I could neither pioneer nor close the hand. Icontinued to further modify the design to be able tograb and let go of string but the offspring was extremelybulky. Also I could not find a plausible and spaceconstrainedway to attach the gears to each of thefingers. The conclusion that I drew was not that theproject was impossible but that it needed more time andresearch. screen backgroundThe idea for a robot that could neatly andefficiently create a create from raw stuff bracelet became a reality by and by my own experiences of individualized pain and triumphsover its creational process. Although the design ismerely knotting in a pass some people have neither thepatience or susceptibility to complete such a simplemasterpiece. This is when the idea for a braceletmaking robot was first manifested. It is being broughtto life for all those who cant or dont want to misrepresentone themselves, hence, a robot to do it for themUnfortunately, dickens weeks is not enough to make afull blown bracelet making robot. Instead my attemptwill be to make a robot that can successfully tie aknot somewhat a string. Which with more time wouldeventually lead to an entire knotted bracelet. Thetextile industry has prospered greatly since the age ofindustry and invention. Cotton, silk, and various new(prenominal)materials are processed and transformed into beautifulfabrics and cloths which soon become array andaccessories. The flying shuttle was brought tofactories in 1733 by the inventor John Kay, amelioratelooms to enable weavers to get the ir work done evenfaster. Soon after there came the spinning jenny, andthe water frame which became the first powered machine.To be or Knot to be? 3The inventions kept spewing forth until at last themodern textile machine was born. Most of these are campaigningby computer with nowhere near the machinery. Thisminimizes injury and ups the efficiency of production. spot my robot wont be the next big factorydesign, it will make a simple but overly complicatedknot for a robot. In future years at COSMOS in therobotics cluster, perhaps someone will see my designand continue it, until it completely finishes an entire
