Dancing robot created from the workshop for Maker Project

The Teaching Excellence Project inspires teachers to develop innovative teaching methods and courage students with independent thinking. The center provides a series of courses about personal growth and development for teachers’ needs. In the workshop for Maker Project II started on May 4, Lin Po-Chiang (林柏江), Assistant Professor of Dept. of Communications Engineering, opens “Arduino,” a course about building a dancing robot.

Professor Lin instructs his colleagues to build an OTTO robot, which uses body parts printed by a 3D printer, and Arduino controller, expanding board card, server motor, ultrasonic module, and buzzer. With a completed application code installed, the OTTO robot can follow the orders to dance and sing. OTTO also can apply to daily activities, such as intelligent teapot. The robot delivers tea controlled by the mobile app, says Lin.
