Origaime

A project log for Cardware

An educational system designed to bring AI and complex robotics into the home and school on a budget.

Mark came up with the brilliant idea of combining the art of folding paper, and my ideas about robotics into a word that describes what we're trying to do perfectly. The original AIME may be no more but her parts live on as Origaime!

AIME had arms, and the remit for Cardware / AIMOS means that it can control different architectures without rebuilding the system - just plug in and teach it the new motions it can use. To make this possible, as well as strengthen the 'hardware', we've designed modules to fit together and make limbs of many types.

These are the new limbs for Origaime. A step-by step of how the thigh/upper arm sections are constructed.

Room for the cables inside the shell...

Servos can be installed at this point and the rest of the shell completed around the cables. It's a bit of a fiddle but they can be installed afterwards and changed out easily.

With a servo installed and the lid screwed down it matches the other passive parts quite nicely.

As usual, here are the updated parts for anyone who wants to try this. Simply stretch these over an A4 page edge-to-edge to print.
