Production Technology

For Boat, in addition to sensors and motors, all modeling, transmission mechanism and hardware structure are finished by 3D printing, which perfectly fit the form of modeling and rhythm of transmission mechanism.

Design Challenge

The crankshaft shape and fitness of the product have been adjusted several times to make the whole product run smoothly.

Project Duration

The project started in July 2021 at Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts, and be completed and produced in October 2021.

Operation Flow

Boat is inbuilt highly sensitive vibration sensor, the main shaft surface designs concave directional track. When the sensor feels the vibration, the product starts, the main drive shaft rotates, and the structure in the groove of the rotation shaft moves due to gravity, and pushing the whole forward.

Research

By observing the movement of arthropods, simulating the spine of arthropod as the main axis of the model, extracting the movement law of arthropods, designing the mechanism model by computer aided tools, and solid works simulation. we determined the movement regulation of the mechanism.

Inspiration

Boat offers more possibilities for products to interact between people and the environment. The product is no longer limited to mechanical switches, but can be started through language, gestures, etc.,which bring better interesting experience to users.
