I have previously posted about the prototype dragon's tail for the animatronic figure I have been working on. This past week, I have had the time and ability to make some exciting progress on the tail assembly and actuation! The individual joints have been updated and re-printed with red-ombre PLA filament. Short segments of PTFE tubing have been added to the joints where the fishing line interacts with each joint. A side view of the updated tail assembly clamped to a table f

Hey there! I haven't posted on here in a little while, not because I forgot about you, but because I have been waiting for some parts to arrive. I have great news! The components that I needed to make the next step in assembling and testing my design arrived this past week! I will be posting again later this week to update on the implementation of these components. Keep an eye out for some exciting upcoming posts: A discussion and demonstration of the actuation and automation

Over the past several months I have been working on a new research project! I have been working to design, fabricate, and program an animatronic dragon figure with the ability to "follow" the movement of individuals throughout a room. In order to equip my robotic dragon figure with these special abilities, I will be applying my knowledge and experience with image processing and machine learning concepts to build and train a model to recognize individuals within a camera's fie
