Walking Linkage
In this project I worked with a group in the Bray Machine Shop to design and fabricate a linkage system that mimics walking motion. We made a base plate out of acrylic, a motor coupling of aluminum, and a 3D printed pen attachment. The linkage system itself was made from laser-cut acrylic. The project sharpened my machine shop skills, and gave our group a very satisfying final deliverable! It was great seeing so many combined aspects coming together with precision.
