Audiebot Status: Drawing board · Sheet 1, Rev A

Robots for the work nobody lines up to do.

Audiebot is a robotics hobby on the drawing board. It sketches simple, serviceable machines for work that is repetitive, heavy or tedious.

Sheet 1 is an articulated arm. This sheet is as far as it's gotten.

Sheet 1: articulated arm, concept

Concept drawing of an articulated robot arm Side view. Balloons 1 to 4 match the parts list. Dimensions: work envelope radius 640 at the wrist center, shoulder height 380, base 300.

General notes

These apply to every Audiebot sheet unless a sheet says otherwise.

  1. Part count : keep it low

    Simple wins.

    Fewer parts, fewer failure modes. The best actuator is the one the design made unnecessary.

  2. Fasteners: standard

    Built to be opened.

    Standard hardware and parts you can order. The elbow services in place 3 and the gripper swaps without tools 4.

  3. People: present

    Safe by design.

    Force-limited 2, predictable and obvious about its intentions. Designed around people from the first sketch.

Specifications

Preliminary. Values come from sheet 1. A hold waits on a decision.

A drawing board, not a company.

Audiebot is a hobby. If a machine ever rolls off this sheet, the revision letter will say so.
