JARVIS

JARVIS now has full mechanical and electrical assembly, and can do basic versions of the ideal functions. These include voice control, testing of all joints, a responsive voice, a PID controller, and basic gripping capability. A seated demonstration is attached.

Barring movement testing, the entire frame and actuation design of the robot is fully designed and fabricated. A couple 3D printed parts could be iteratively improved, such as the end effector spool or the hexagonal shoulder joint. The next step is to integrate all of the electronics and begin testing the movement capabilities via teleop control.

Printed and tested the main gripping and manipulation mechanism. I'm opting to use the novel two-string SpiRob model, demonstrated here: https://youtube.com/shorts/Lrg99CrNS8g?si=C63kN3N3QorPuuKM
