My mom would love if I used this

I need this in my life

This is fantastic! I would give you money for one of these

Comparing the pixels was a very clever way to evaluate posture!

Did the robot ever detect the wrong change in pixels? How did you fix it? This idea was really cool!

This seems very useful and I really like the design!

What a great pal! Does it provide audio feedback?

I love how you’ve decorated it! I can see how that would be useful and even fun to put next to you while sitting (except when it’s yelling at you)

Hi Matt! This is a great project I first off appreciated how you chose to take an issue in your every day life and attempt a solution to this common problem. It was also exciting to see you take the concept of a “robot” and see it beyond a computer with wheels. A robot can be anything and you really put that into perspective with the mustached posture pal. I hope you keep this up and continue to build little helper or fun bots in your spare time! – Phoebe

very cool, what else could you do with this algorithm

Interesting! I wonder how you could develop this idea, or maybe make the robot into an inventor’s assistant.

I love the last few ideas. I wonder how you could take it to the next step by making something similar to google autocomplete.

I need the robot that yells at your brother if he’s touching your things

This is such a cool idea. Did you test with your dog? I like how you used the paper plate as a ball holder and launch mechanism. I’m curious what other kinds of launch systems you explored (spring loaded? Arm?)? Have you thought about adding a way for your dog to load the ball in too?

I want a doggo:)) and I know just how to entertain them now..

Your dog looks like it’s having so much fun with the robot!

I like the incorporation of a speaker along with the device so that not only will your dog be entertained, but you can also hear an audio clue to know when the robot is acting.

My dog would love this! Did you try to train your dog to put it back on the plate?

is there anything to keep dogs from just taking the ball and not bringing it back

Awesome! You could add a treat dispenser to reward the dog when it brought the ball back. I would love a robot to play with my pup!

Good work. It seems so useful and I like it!

Next stop: card shuffler?

Very cool! I can see this being very useful, especially for someone who plays a lot of cards. Would you consider adding an option to input the number or cards to deal to each player?

Did the weight of the robot affect the mounting system? How did you deal with the weight when mounting it to the wall.

This will save me from the wrath of mom

This is a great idea. Did you consider adding a feature that lets you turn off the lights from bed?

Cool idea and impressive build! Do you think this could be voice activated? It could be a useful device for the elderly who could have trouble opening doors themselves but wouldn’t require a complete redo of their existing doors.

I like your use of duct tape to attach your robot to your door and I also thought the use of your motor was quite clever to to twist the handle

This is great! It reminds me of a Rube Goldberg machine but with robotics 🙂

I love the extension wire to your bed! I see how this is a very practical way of opening your door to converse with people while not moving:)

This is a very good idea and I think it will be useful. How did you extend the wires for the button to reach your bed?
