BrailleBot: Text-to-Braille Robot
An EV3 robot that reads a text file and places beads to form analog braille letters, with 3D-printed tight-tolerance parts.
- Accuracy
- 98%
- Autonomous run
- 6 char
01What
- Designed and built a text-to-braille robot with the EV3 kit
- Reads text files and deposits beads in position to form analog braille letters
02How
- Designed in SolidWorks
- Wrote a C algorithm that takes a text file and outputs braille letters
- 3D printed components for tight-tolerance fits
03Results
- 98% accuracy on braille output
- Processes text files up to 6 characters without manual intervention
