So I finally made the GitHub page for the MVP. I’m really excited. I think I’ve done a pretty good job with this project so far. It’s just an MVP and the prototype now. It works but I think we can take it a notch farther. Also you cannot recreate, copy, or use for any commercial reasons, or republish this project. It is prohibited. I basically know nobody was going to copy it or is going to copy it but I just put it there to feel more official and cool and just in case. I think the idea can go further than this. I see what I do so stay tuned. I also tweaked a bit the ESP32 code and the MIT App Inventor app to make everything work fluently and very well. See you in the next devlog!
So I made the project’s mascot and the voice recognition plus physical assistance guiding up. For now the bot responds to some questions that the surgeon assistant may have. It keeps track of the blood pressure, etc. I also improved the code so that everything is functional and the wheel spins there. That it must be. I did a bit more research too to adjust bot’s answers. And lastly we made the robot functional. This was just the MVP and my team and I presented it. It was in an MIT MVP presentation. They really appreciated the project. So now I will log my schematics and everything.
SO HUGE UPDATE! I REDESIGNED THE WHOLE THING AND THE IDEA TOO! So yesterday I was planning to have an LCD screen with another OLED screen that would show a therapy bot that would help the patient and a gripper which would grip the equipment of the surgeon and hand the equipment to the surgeon. This was wrong for many reasons. First of all there were two different target groups that were very difficult to do in one. Also it didn’t really make sense so I redesigned the idea. First of all I thought, what should be my priorities? Should it be:
how fast it goes
how accurate it is
Etc. etc. I decided that the best factor to prioritize is speed. If the robot was slow then it wouldn’t help as much with the surgeon the assistant. So in this session I did some research on the problems of the surgeon assistants so that my robot could pretty much solve them. The attached image is the final image. I won’t be using a step motor because I don’t have one and I don’t plan on getting one but I will use the DC motor, which in combination with the rotary sensor that I have, will detect the exact degrees. I decided on not using the Sonar sensor, which I have placed on the attached image.
I will use two OLED displays that will display the same thing. Because it will be a bit of a big creation, I decided to put two so info for the search can be shown from two different prices and not only to what’s on one. I will be using in ESP 32 because it has Bluetooth and Wi-Fi and all of this will be voice controlled with the MIT App Inventor app that I designed in this session. For further complications I will update you with other dev logs.

Welcome to my new project health assistant! It is a project I brainstormed with some of my peers.Its a mintal health support robot that at the same time doubles as a surgeon assistant.Basicaly handing the tools to the dr with a mech arm.It will be controlled by an esp32 with the use of a state machine that offers 2 diferent modes.Each mode depends on different components.The project will be hopefully responsive to voice commands.
Ship
Almost There!!
