Mission

Task Terminator is a robot made for fulfilling all the challenges in the Taiwan TDK Robocon. The competition includes three main challenges: grab a marker and write alphabets, another one is to imitate human arms'  actions like pull a door ring and reach in a curve tunnel, and the other is to catch a volleyball shoot into a basket.


My role |   Team Leader and Arm Design

I led a team with classmates participating in the 19th TDK Robocon. Prior to finalizing the design, I conducted a brainstorming meeting and listed out our ideas, then illustrated the first CAD. Prepared for ten months, our team constructed a solid 4-wheel drive base within one week. I composed and examined two different mechanical designs of robotic arms, one for gripping a marker writing words on a vertical whiteboard and the other one for tabbing a volleyball through a curve tunnel imitating a human's gesture of arms. Besides, I also layouted a PCB board using H-bridge circuits with eight relays controlling the mobile base.
