My final project proposals

1. A hugging robot

01

 

 

Using distance sensor as his eyes, the hugging robot is ready to give free hugs by lifting his arms.

On the surface of his body, I’ll build a half-closed door and a servo sensor. Each time when his arms are up, the servo will quickly rotate which enables the door to open for a second.

With Arduino in his brain and candy in his stomach, he will also give candy as well as hugs.

 

2. An interactive pop-up book

02

 

A pop-up book with sounds, and even video reaction. You’ll not only see the pop-up, but also feel the scene. I’ll select a story, make several pages, use different sensors to trigger the responses. You pat the dog and the dog will bark. You turn the page to a woods and a mockingbird will sing for you.

 

 

3. An electronic twister

03

 

A twister for saving the effort of the controller. It will be controlled by Arduino. By hiding LEDs and pressure sensors inside the rag/felt, multiple players will enjoy an electronic twister together.
