Balance Cube Structural Design

Overview of the project

As the course project for Embedded System Design, me and my teammate tried to build a cube shaped robot to simulate an assistive device for elderly and those with balance issues. As a scaled down proof of concept, the robot will sense when the user is loosing balance and provide assistive torque using gyroscopic effects to right the user.

the project was discontinued due to special course arrangements, but the mechanical structure was finished.
