The Page Turner

The Page Turner

When I’ve filled up a page with writing, this robot turns the pages of my notebook for me so I can drink some coffee and check snapchat.

The press of a button activates the robot. The robot can be run for 5 minutes, and the button will only work a second time after the robot has fully completed a page turn and returned to its original position. When the button is pressed, the robot drives forward with a distance sensor pointed towards the ground. When the robot senses the book below it, it stops and positions itself onto the book. It uses a servo arm to grab a page and moves backward with the page attached to it. Eventually, the page is turned, and the robot returns to its original position.
