Robotic Fingers — Final Group Project Submission

Complete this during one 80-minute lesson. Work with your group to document what has been achieved, but each student must explain their own contribution and show their own understanding of how the complete Robotic Fingers system works.

Important: This is not about whether the project is completely finished. Show accurately what your group has achieved up to today, what still needs work, what you personally contributed, and what you understand about the project as a whole.

1. Group snapshot

0–10 min

Your name

Group / team name

Group members

Where is your project up to today?

Be specific. Do not write “nearly finished”. State exactly what exists and what works.

What still needs to be completed or improved?

2. Group progress — point by point

10–25 min

Tick only what your group has actually completed or meaningfully attempted. Then explain the evidence you have.

Research / design investigation — prosthetics, robotic hands, design features or criteria. CAD modelling — robotic finger, servo mount, switch mount, base or digital assembly. Digital manufacturing — 3D printed parts, laser-cut parts, DXF/STL preparation or production. Mechanical assembly — finger, servo, mount, switch/contact and base assembled or aligned. Arduino / servo control — code, zeroing, angle testing, sequence or debugging. Makey Makey / QwertyGo / GarageBand — input mapping, notes, wiring or music control. Testing / refinement — the group has tested part or all of the system and made changes.

What is the strongest evidence of your group’s progress?

3. Your individual contribution

25–40 min

Your main role(s)

Other tasks you helped with

What did you personally do?

What decision, improvement or problem-solving action did you personally contribute?

How did your work connect with the work of other group members?

4. Your understanding of the whole project

40–55 min

Answer in your own words even if you did not personally complete every part.

What is the overall purpose of the Robotic Fingers project?

Explain how the complete system works from code or input through to finger movement and musical output.

Why were CAD and digital manufacturing useful?

How does the Arduino control the servos and fingers?

What does Makey Makey do in the system?

Why are alignment, testing and adjustment important?

5. Testing, problems and improvement

55–65 min

Describe one test your group carried out.

What problem or limitation did you find?

What change did the group make or propose?

If you had another lesson, what would you test or improve next?

6. Photo evidence

65–75 min

Take or upload the most useful photos — not just the most attractive ones. Each photo needs a caption explaining what it proves.

Up to 6 photos. Images are reduced in size and saved only in this browser. Your written submission should still make sense without the photos.

7. Final individual reflection and check

75–80 min

What is the most important thing you learned from this project?

Based on the project’s current state, what has been successful and what is the most important improvement still required?

I confirm that the individual explanations and reflection above are my own work and show my own understanding. I have accurately described the current state of my group’s project and have not claimed work that was not completed. I have selected useful evidence photos and explained what each one demonstrates.
