Tooth Brushing Robot

week 3 – Abstract

LAM Cheuk Kui
The robot is invented to help people to lower the workload. Nowadays, many robot are replaced the human employee because of the employee payment are heavier for the company and the mistake of the robot is lower than the human employee. However, before the robotics was improved. Human were not believe the robotics invention. The robot sometime are making mistake and mix up the trouble together. This project want to find out the mistake and back to the past.
Teeth brush helper are helping human for brushing their teeth. However it may having some trouble while the user are brushing their teeth. The teeth brush helper are using the robot arm[1] and some other function, for example, the human face detection [2]make the teeth brush helper have some chance to finish their teeth brushing mission. This project hope to bring the funny moment to other and have a joke with the users.

Week 1 – one cool things

Therefore, this project can product a smart hair dryer to improve those problem.

Implementation method:robot arm connect the hair dryer

Week 2
Robotics daily helpers
It is a robot arms to help you in daily life. First idea that the helper can do is brush your teeth. We hope the helper can “help” you. So you can have more time for you to do your work.

step 1: The robot arms get the toothbrush and toothpaste
step 2: The robot put the toothpaste on the toothbrush
step 3: The robot arm move left and right for brushing your teeth.
step 4: Have a clear and white teeth

How long it takes?
face detection?
Funny video, What can the people do while brushing the teeth

Week 4 – Video prototype

Possible Biometric:
Heart rate, Eye tracking(Heat map), EEG(Gamma)

Johnny: we can use eye-tracking into our project through the eye-tracking to detect where is the user head and adjust the height of the brush
