Final Assignment ENGR 103 - Broderick Clark and Nate Doty

Using an ESP32, motors, the Arduino IDE and a 3d printer, we built a robot that can demonstrate emotion and has a design from one of our favorite movies: Wall-E. We tried to make our robot look and act like Wall-E we used a 3d printer to find and modify the design for the model that is on the robot. We leverage the way that the robot looks aesthetically in our emotion challenge. In the movie Wall-E is particularly emotional in many scenes, so our robot goes through some emotions that are most seen in the movie such as fear, curiosity, panic, and happiness. We attempt to demonstrate those emotions to the best of our ability with the tools that we have. We based most of our code on the bumpbot example given by Don for the past studio project, however we implemented our own functions and altered code so that we could control the robot to do what we wanted it to do. All of the emotions are done through telling the motors to rotate certain directions given varying delays and loop functions, as well as some LED functions. We had a lot of fun with this project and hope you enjoy. Also, we did in fact watch Wall-E in "preparation" for this assignment.

Name Description
Emotion Challenge For the emotion challenge we go through some emotions, acting out a scene in a way, that we think Wall-E would have in the movie, given our limitations. First he looks around and gets scared bc of what he sees, he can be seen trembling and moving backwards in the video. Then, he inches forward out of curiosity but suddenly starts to panic as shows by him running around and the flashing red lights. Once the threat is gone he does a little happy dance.   Link

Aesthetic Challenge Using 3d design software and a 3d printer we created a little Wall-E figure to have our robot look more aesthetically interesting, and better convey the emotion of the robot. We leveraged this design by demonstrating emotions in the emotion challenge that would be similar to those he has in the movie. Wall-E is a very emotional robot.   Link
