Prototype Sketches
  • General arrangement of the setup

  • Blender model of a running prototype

3D-Printed Components
  • 3D printed landscape for differentiating rural and urban lanes

  • 3D printed dial with control module

Final Prototype

Components:

  • Five toio robots representing vehicles (4) and control module (1)

  • 3D Printed Landscape to distinguish between rurual and urban settings

  • Different colored background using projection (implemented through Processing) to distinguish between AM and PM

  • The main control UI works like a dial to control month, and can be used as a button to change between AM/PM settings.

Exhibition
The work was exhibited as part of Robot Block Party at Museum of Science and Industry, Chicago in March 2023.
