Welcome to the repository for D00D, a mid-size, full-motion food delivery droid designed and constructed for the course "Introduction to Droid Building" at the University of Notre Dame. This project showcases our skills in 3D printing, CAD, Arduino programming, and more, culminating in a functional and interactive droid.

In this course, we embarked on creating a student-designed droid, inspired by popular Sci-Fi movies. Our journey involved:

• 3D Printing & CAD Design
• Motion Control Systems
• Electrical Circuitry
• Sound & Lighting Systems
• Communication Protocols (Serial, I2C, Bluetooth)
• Arduino C++ Programming

Our project, D00D, is a food delivery droid. Its unique design includes a custom logo and a structure combining 3D printed elements and foam board.

• Frame: 3D printed front, foam board structure
• Battery: Long-lasting, integrated power system
• Lights: 12 LED lights for navigation and signaling
• Sound System: Dual speakers with an integrated soundboard
• Sensors: Four sonar sensors for navigation
• Mobility: Three-wheel design with a multidirectional front wheel
• Storage: Three-tiered internal structure

• First Floor: Battery, fuse block, motors and motor controller, Arduino MEGA ADK
• Second Floor: Sound system (amplifier, speakers, soundboard), LED control
• Third Floor: Food storage with servo motor-operated lid

• Auto-Pilot Mode: Autonomous navigation, inside an arbitrarily large square box, using sonar sensors
• Manual Control: PS3 controller joystick operated driving, with ambient sound and music
• Routine Operations:
  • Delivery signaling with LED and sound effects
  • Food pickup indication with audio-visual cues
  • Interaction routine for path obstructions

• Programming Language: C++
• Control Board: Arduino MEGA ADK
• Functionalities:
  • Autonomous and manual navigation
  • Interactive routines for delivery and user engagement

• Usage: Confirmation and rating of deliveries, simply tap smartphone on the tag
• Placement: On the top lid for easy access

Include a series of images showcasing your droid in various stages of construction, operation, and in action.

D00D represents a culmination of our skills in robotics, programming, and engineering. This project not only demonstrates our technical abilities but also our creativity and problem-solving skills in real-world applications.
