Thesis: I am now working on the appendices of my thesis, my main focus has been getting the filmography done as its pretty extensive and I want to make sure I include every single film from the literature.
Model: The model is coming along nicely I have fitted 5 servos into the fore arm, I managed to measure this out perfectly as they all fitted in the groove of the arm perfectly. It is always a bit hit and miss when you are using other people measurements before you actually have the physical parts in front of out but it all seemed to have gone to plan. There is now quite a bit of weight in the arm now so i am going to have to think carefully about how I am going to attach it to the body, my first thought is to order some more aluminium brackets from China but I dont know if my time scale will allow for this as I already have two massive shipments of brackets on the way.
Feelings: The robot is looking awesome which is really great after so much time spent on getting the head to look how I wanted it. The hand and arm was really quick and simple to put together. It is basically the same system I used for the tongue but this time using a slightly thicker cable tie. I am also pleased to have finished all the major parts of my thesis and its pretty nice to just sit down and work on the appendices at my own leisure.
Evaluation: Now the thesis is pretty much finished I feel like a massive weight has been lifted and I can now get on with the robot. Once my new brackets arrive things should move on really quickly. I also need to think how I am going to get this all over to uni and where I am going to be able to store it.
Analysis: Things are pretty much all in place now, which is good as time is running out. I feel that the two elements of the project have come together really well and sort of interact really well.
Conclusion: In conclusion I am very pleased to be in this situation at the moment, ive had no major issues with either parts of the project and I feel its coming together like how I first imagined it would at the start of the project.
Action Plan: Finish filmography and move on to writing up the tables of rank / genre from the IBDM data base stuff.
