Project divided in two devices:
1. SENSORY GLOW – sensorium controlling Y.O.U. robot by radio waves
2. Y.O.U. Robot – 3d printed, LED lightened and propelled by 28 electrical servomotors moving structure.

1.Developing SENSORY GLOW

Resistive strips sensing 4 fingers and wrist – signals quantized and transformed into commands for Y.O.U.Robot are sent thru radio waves with help nRF24L01 radio modules

Carefully handcrafted tested and programmed GLOW BOARD – sensing transforming and emiting data controlling Y.O.U.Robot

SENSORY GLOW – testing the quantification of sensor deflections

2.Developing Y.O.U.Robot 28 motor drivers, radio receiver, main board and software

Main board within housing mounted at the top of the Robot structure

Hand crafted Main Board – comparsing Arduino Mega, radio transmission, 28 H-Bridges
