Printable Rescue Robot for Mining

thingiverse

A dangerous mission awaits as blocky miners are in peril; however, 'LeelaV2', a printable robot, is here to save the day. Equipped with snake-like movements and 360-degree rotations, this robot can also move like a crab and adopt anti-slip positions. Its arms and rotatable loading platform feature a camera that loads blocks onto the platform before returning to its initial position. LeelaV2's lifting ability ranges from 10 to 2 cm side boxes. The robot is powered by a Beaglebone brain (enclosed with a link), a PS3 Move camera, and Flyduino servo controller.

The idea, firmware, and software are by Felipe Astroza, while assembly and parts are done by Erwin Ried. Central assembly instructions include attaching servobearing to armsholder and a servo; gripping hands assembly involves attaching micro-servos to microservoarms, bearingmain, and hands-both.stl; rotation wheel assembly requires assembling servoturn2 x4.stl with a servo and wheel, followed by aligning clips for the loading platform sides (alignclips.stl).
