Robot for beginners - open source hardware bionic beard Shellmo

Perhaps many people have seen a cute insect-shaped robot called Shellmo at the 2015 MakerFaire event. In fact, it is not only a single work, but also a rare bionic animal open source hardware platform (platform), especially suitable for robots. The beginner, anyone can download the 3D file and print it out and do it yourself.

Shellmo was designed by Japanese self-created ho Yoshida, the name, according to his own, from the ShellModule (a shell module) abbreviation, the entire product by Arduino circuit board, breadboard, motor, available 3D printed parts and other components, after assembly is complete, you can use a computer or Android phone to remotely control it. It's very simple to say, in fact, printing the parts is the beginning of the challenge. For the self-creater, it takes a lot of effort to assemble the many parts! However, the technical difficulty is actually not high. According to Yoshida Satoshi, he would design Shellmo because his first robotic experience in the early entry group was not very pleasant, so he wanted to develop this "first robot" for beginners.

The entire Shellmo platform is divided into four major units, abbreviated as MCSA:

Motor: This refers to Shellmo's dense feet, mouth and motor gear set, which is probably the place where all the units really work hard.

Core: refers to the core Arduino board and breadboard, and a "heart" that glows.

Shell: Of course it's the shell.

Accessory: Additional decorations and additional accessories electronics.

In the production, after running the electric material to buy the necessary motor and electronic materials, after printing the parts with the 3D printer, you can start assembling Dafa. Of course, at the beginning of the Motor unit, those mechanical structures are more complicated, and it may be a little bit hard. However, after the group is finished, it will be wide open, and the circuit is not difficult. It is very simple, and then the shell is painted and the ink line is painted well (or Printed with different colors of color strips), and finally installed the shell and decoration, the self-made Shellmo beetle is completed! Of course, if you are too lazy to print and go to the electric line to buy parts, you can also find out if anyone on the market sells ready-made kits.

In addition to painting the gourd, because Shellmo's four units are independent, different orientations of self-creaters can also modify or modify their favorite units according to their own interests. As for Yoshida Sho himself, he personally demonstrated the possibility of several transformations. For example, in the shell of the Shell, in addition to the original standard green carapace - Cambria, he also made a black armor type - Zero (zero battle beetle?) and in the Accessory part, he made a For the extra eyeballs, not only can you open and close, but the eyeballs will turn around. Even he made a soft fur rind, so the beetle became a veritable caterpillar.

In addition, the future development of the Shellmo platform, there is a mini version of Lego bricks, and more interesting, is this new "Shellmoreproductor", this is a robot and 3D printer, or should be said to be "self-propelled printer"? This is a product concept that has never been seen before. In this way, this "bionic beast" is more complete. It has "fertility" and can print out its own Shellmobaby, which is probably the first time in the history of bionic beasts. ? Probably only the ability to urinate and eat and eat (not right, feed 3D printing, is it a food?), just like real creatures? It is really good to expect the author to really develop this bionic beast printer.

The Touch Monitor is a product developed and designed by ourselves. It has been sold for more than 6 years and has exceeded 160,000 units. At present, it is running very well. It mainly customizes different touch technologies, different sizes, different interfaces, connecting cables and power supply parts to meet the needs of guests. We provide customers with the choice of resistive Touch Screen, Capacitive Touch Screen, Infrared Touch Screen and nano touch foil, and customize various interfaces for customers, such as: VGA, DVI, HDMI, DP and so on. It is mainly used in banks, hospitals, government units, airports, railway stations, supermarkets, real estate and other places.
