Research Paper On Toast

Toast-O-Bot

Abstract:

A robot that uses a toaster to make toast, butters it with spray butter and makes a CD player play the song "Yeah Toast" would be both useful and entertaining. Using the Lego

Mindstorms and MAC NQC to program them such a robot could be possible. Using the suggested design and programs for the Roboarm in the Definitive Guide to Lego

Mindstorms as a starting point I built the robot and modified it for the toaster. During testing of the motors, it was discovered that Toast-O-Bot is not strong enough to press the button on the toaster. Even after toaster modification it was still unable to press the button.

The Toast-O-Bot only moves the bread from location to location, so a user is required to press the button

This may include simplified processes, service animals or small machines or robots that perform small tasks for any user; young, old, disabled, or able bodied. There are devices to change TV channels, open doors, turn lights on and off, and now a robot to make toast for them.

Ever since the discovery of toast man has looked for a way to make toasting easier, beginning with the primitive toaster, and progressing to the modern pop toaster. The primitive toaster was made of iron and placed in hot coals. In 1909, G.E. introduced and patented the electric toaster. The pop toaster, introduced in 1919, has been modified by many people to develop the modern pop toaster. Toaster ovens, though not as common, are also used to make toast. The hope is to further ease the work that goes into the making of toast by creating a robot that can use a toaster to make toast.

The robot will have a claw arm to pick up the bread and place it in the toaster. It will also have an arm to press the button on the toaster and on the spray butter. There will be a touch sensor at the bottom of the button track and when it equals zero the robot will remove the toast to butter it. After buttering the toast, it will then place it on a plate for

Build a Lego Mindstorms robot from the Constructopedia book

2. Do practice programs to learn how to use the system and programming

3. Deconstruct your robot and build the Roboarm robot from The Definitive Guide to

Lego Mindstorms robots

4. Reinforce the robot including a box and brushings around the worm gear on the arm to prevent slipping and make sure that it is tall enough to use your toaster

5. Modify the toaster so that the robot can press the button

6. Build a bread holder for the Toast-O-Bot to grab from

7. Write a test program to make sure that all motors work

8. Write the programs for the Roboarm from the book

9. Write a program for the robot to pick up the bread and put it in the toaster, wait, pick it up and put it on a plate (and spin triumphantly)

10. Trouble shoot program, robot design, and layout of materials

11. Record the layout to ensure consistent results

12. Decorate with various decorative things if desired

Results:

My robot successfully grabs a slice of bread out of the bread holder that
