Robotics and Art - ARC385

This group project combined the usage of Arduino and laser cut fabrication to create a unique and interactive art installation in the hallways of my University. The project featured a programmable component and custom laser cut gears with fabric and various found materials to create a moveable 'wave' as people walked by the display above them.

This was a group project with - Haseena Doost, Megan Guido and Kelly Tsa

This was a group project and my portion of the project was mainly the drawings, communication of ideas and installation.

Arduino code developed by group members to generate motion in the gear system.
