Project Description

Design

Inspired by leave-me-alone boxes, loner lives inside a box and loves loneliness. He responds to the detection of motion in its immediate surrounding by kicking the visitors away.

Loner is made entirely out of plexiglass whereas the box/residence is made of wood and semi-transparent membrane. The functionality relies on an Arduino UNO micro-controller.

Additional hardware: Adafruit 16-channer servo driver, 8 x micro servo mg 90, 4 x ultrasonic distance sensors.
