This will be your group for the remainder of the semester!

You will be completing the iterative design process to bring your concept to life (brainstorming, sketching, sketch models, prototypes, diagramming, final prototype)

A few things before we begin...

Must be a soft robotic device inspired by a specific deep sea creature

Must solve a problem or aid in a specific task

Must have mechanical movement(s)

Must incorporate at least 1 electrical input and 1 electrical output

Must incorporate at least 1 3D printed component and

at least 1 laser cut component. May also incorporate silicone and/or bioplastic.

Key Design Constraints

We will be presenting our mid-review presentations on

Monday, April 4th, Wednesday, April 6th

and Thursday, April 7th.

Looking Ahead

These presentations will pitch your idea and present initial findings, ideation, and low fidelity prototypes. You will gather important feedback for next steps.

GET INTO YOUR GROUPS

Once you are in your groups, brainstorm a list of 5 collective expectations to help you be successful with this project.

How will you hold each other accountable?

Post these expectations in your new project folder!

START BRAINSTORMING

Start to talk about your concept and brainstorm some ideas! One group member should take notes.

A few things to consider:

What kind of green energy will this project utilize.

Where is the location?

Who would use it?

What features would it have?

What utility would it serve what problems would it solve?
