In the second half of the Final report – I wanted to show the procedure & steps taken by our robot  as it takes it final shape. Also, the challenges encountered till now and challenges what awaits me in pursuit of building a human size sci-fi inspired robot. The intended timeline of the project was…

I’ll be exploring the inspirations, vision, and design process behind my attempt to build a dynamic robot. Inspiration: I am fond of Sci-Fi literature as I believe this is most important form of literature which impact and guides the future of our world. It talks about how the world intend to be, how computers may…

Ah! and the cycle of iteration continues. I have realized how much I was underestimating the time and resources required to pull off building an entire functional robot in middle of the semester. Anyhow, this was interesting tradeoffs which helped me zeroed in on my final build shape form. I have decided to build a…

For my main project, I have zeroed on building a Sci Fi inspired Robot. I have been a great advent of Sci-Fi stories from greats such as Issac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke, Robert A. Heinlein to recent ones like Andy Weir and many more. I have been always gravitated towards the good old Sci- Fi…

My current plan for the aesthetic of my project is to create a sci-fi inspired robot, in which I was inclined to focus on aesthetic more rather than functionality given time and resources limitations for the course. My Main inspiration arrives from the book Tales from the Loop written by Simon Stålenhag which is a wildly successful…

I have been always gravitated towards the good old Sci- Fi stories be it classic books or movies; I loved the future robots depictions and their transformative roles in human life. And at some point when I was old enough to understand that however afraid we (humans) are of robots running the world – they…

There are many designers whom I admire spanning from Renaissance era, golden 90s when industrilisation and space age bloomed to that of current entrepreneurial times. Albeit, the most recent designer which caught my attention is Mathis Cosson. I always have my sight on deep tech innovations which are already or soon gonna impact the way…

Inspiration I have always longed for creating something aesthetically appealing from minimalistic resources, as it speaks to the attitude of artist and one’s passion to create art rather than focus being on the materials one is using to create art. Although, I did decided to build “Sculptures out of Cardboard” out of constraints rather than…

For my Upcycling project, I have decided to use PVC pipes, bolt, nuts & fabric for making articulated wings. So far so long, I have finalized on the all the materials which I will be using to create a budget articulated wings. Although, I was also interested in automation by using stepper motors or pneumatic…

I have been always inspired from the nature. Nature has this perfect blend of art and science, which has evolved since the Big Bang, i.e., birth of universe (At least that’s what we human think as of now) to this great optimized design after multiple iterations just like any other design process. Humanity’s great designers,…

How well versed does one need to be in the structural design of the human form?  If one intends to have the figure as a central element in their works, they will need to explore and memorize the design of the human form.  If one wishes to become a master draftsman in any genre, studying…
