Our Final Product, Ball-E V4.0

Achieving Autonomy   Testing The Capability Of The AI Algorithm   Object Detection The Jetson Nano equipped with an Arduino and a camera shows how a combination of hardware and software can achieve object recognition functionality. In the above video, the system’s algorithm has been trained on a comprehensive dataset comprising more than 1000 images…

Ball-E V3.0

The First Joystick Driven Prototype   New DC motors The newly purchased JGA25-370 motors could generate 24kg*cm of torque each, and the total weight of Ball-E was 2kg. This meant that even if one of the motor failed to work, Ball E would still possess enough torque to move off from rest.   New Stepper…

Ball-E V2.0

A REFINED APPLICATION   With careful consideration and deliberations from the previous feedback, our team has developed an alternative application to Ball-E, a vent inspection robot for hazardous laborataries. The idea was further inspired through an overseas learning trip to Trinity Biomedical Science Institude, where we visited a hazardous, negative pressure laboratory. The laboratary is…

Ball-E V1.0

THE ORIGINAL CONCEPTION, Ball-E V1.0   DESIGN SPECIFICATION Our original design aimed to create a caregiver robot specifically designed for toddlers. The primary objective was to develop a mobile CCTV camera that could provide additional support to primary caregivers and keep parents updated with real-time images and videos of their child, even while they were…
