Comet the Sloth<\/span><\/p>\n

Description of the Sloth process<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 1. Get the Idea and what is it for?<\/span><\/p>\n

The idea for Comet came from the Jim Henson\u2019s Muppets, Although not always their design is playful and interesting, something a child would take care of and love forever. Comet\u2019s main use would be to interact with nearby children.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 2. Model the figure<\/span><\/p>\n

I decided on a sloth as the animal of choice because sloths have thin long arms so kids could swing him around no problem. I added a rounder stomach area to make him more soft and squeezable.<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 3. Function<\/span><\/p>\n

Now I’m no computer tech but with enough research I was able to get a code to use LEDs to light his nose a blue color and he responds with little one line sayings.<\/span>\u00a0Initial sayings is \u201cHey (Childs name) Would you like to play?\u201d Or \u201cReady to hang out best bud?\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 4. 3D print and Stuffing<\/span><\/p>\n

3D printing was equally difficult but once started it became simpler.\u00a0<\/span>Started out with a round circular shape for the head with an opening for the mouth. Next of course was the arms and legs. My goal was to make the arms and legs very long lanky to where the plush could wrap and hug the child. The body area was sketched out and once fur is placed over Comet will be stuffed till he\u2019s huggable.<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 5.\u00a0 Construction<\/span><\/p>\n

The head area was my first place to work because that area would be where I’d place the Arduino board. I create a jointed mouth with 3d printed parts and rotating motor for the opening and closing of the mouth. I made a space on the top mouth part for the bread board and wiring to move the mouth. Once complete, the next step was placing the fur over and stuffing Comet. I made sure to place enough stuff to where the speaker that was inside may not be felt. Finally I attached and glued the eyes, checked the huggability and tested the arm length. Once I was satisfied, Comet the Sloth was complete.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
