Kaizen in clawbot design

February 2024

Kaizen is a Japanese philosophy that means “continuous improvements”..

Since the beginning of the year, we have been making improvements on our clawbots with various sensors and additional code.

On our first version back in October, our robot had to have manual code for its 90-degree turns and forward movements to go from point A to B in a shortest possible time. Here is a sample demo video recording during grading.

In our last version in February, our robot is equipped with many more sensors that allow autonomous code (the programmer only codes for actions in response to data gathered by sensors and the robot paths the course itself ). In this example we have the robot move along a waved black path on the ground. In addition, it can grab, carry and unload articles by its claws from point A to B. Here is our sample demo video.
