It's time for a new 3D design challenge! In partnership with 3DCONNEXION, experts in CAD mice, we are launching this new challenge on the theme of sports
The theme is: Design a robotic arm for fencing training on SOLIDWORKS or CATIA
Today, fencers are forced to train in pairs: no technology has yet been designed to allow athletes to train alone, when they wish. SOLIDWORKS or CATIA users showcase your drawing skills and creativity through this contest!
A theme thought out and imagined by the professional fencer Gaëtan Charlot: engineer and high-level athlete!
Through this challenge we propose you to create an articulated robot that will allow you to simulate a fight. To do so, this arm requires the following criteria:
An articulated arm replicating the elbow and wrist of a fencer
A light signal that indicates reaction times, hit speed...
A target capable of recording keys and recording performance
A resistant material that can withstand impacts
An arm in motion, up and down and left and right
Adaptable to disabled fencing
As CAO athletes, who better than you to take up the challenge? You have until September 15, 2024 at 00:00.
Several winners will win the following prizes: • 1st: SpaceMouse Pro • 2nd: SpaceMouse Wireless Kit2 • 3rd: SpaceMouse Wireless • 1 voucher code for one person randomly drawn from the rest of the participants
This challenge is a unique opportunity to show your talent and contribute to the future of sports training with innovative solutions!
The idea is to start with a robot that can at least hold a fencing foil and have an elbow and wrist movement to reproduce an opponent; Then, it's up to you to add in the right place, a target, light sensors in case of a hit, and elements that will allow the forward/backward and right/left movement of this robot! Also, a sensor must be added so that the robot can analyze the movement of the opponent's foil and be able to dodge or counter it to simulate a fight.
Not everything can be designed on your project in a limited time, but you can explain in your description how the robot will behave, what materials you used...
Your robot must be able to adapt to all movements and all sizes of opponents: it must be able to adjust itself to the level for height (for a wheelchair fencer for example) and move from left to right and back and forth like a real human
For sure it's original and interesting... On the other hand, there is a lot of work! Even if you buy a ready-made robot (I don't dare to imagine the price). Can't wait to see what you come up with
