3D Pen Used To Build Cleaning Robot That Picks Up Socks
1 min read
Summary
A 3D printer has been converted by 3D Sanago in a robot that can move around the plastic shooting nozzle itself, producing a small robot with an arm for picking up objects, in this case socks, with a PS4 controller.
The build process is shown in the maker’s YouTube video and involves creating a square base the same size as the robot’s body and using a 3D printing pen to make the parts, requiring a large amount of time and patience.
The end product works using four gear motors driving omniwheels and an Uno Arduino microcontroller, however, it lacks autonomy and at this stage still requires a PS4 controller to operate.
3D Sanago has previously made a kart using similar techniques which are shown in the video referenced in the Hackaday article.
