Luma Droid
A friend of mine wanted a robot-themed birthday party and, of course, this meant we needed to build a robot. Leading a team of 4, we birthed Luma Droid, the robot bartender who mixes alcoholic beverages. The machine combined Arduino with arcade buttons, peristaltic pumps, tubing, tons of LEDs, and ultrasonic humidifiers creating an illuminated mist. The “menu” of 6 choices (possible drinks it can make) is actually an excerpt from the code. A good time was had by all at the birthday party… though I can’t say the same for the next morning 🙂
