DIY Robot Assistant Build Journal by Devansh Singh Parmar
Total Time Spent as of last update:- 18 hours.
Date: 30th July 2025
- Finalized THE Plan
- Removed and added from the original plan to reduce cost and enhance efficiency.
- decided to 3D print the full chassis instead of using off-the-shelf kits, as it seemed a better option.
- After that, finalized dimensions: Height 25–27 inches, Width 13–15 inches. The gap is for errors in print or size of modules.
- Started 3d printing part but wasn't able to make a path.
- Component Discussion
- Decided to put 2 cameras, for multiple reasons, one will be used for gesture tracking and the other one will be used for navigation.
- bluetooth beacons included for item tracking use cases, few things that will make it look cool as well.
