🔧 Planned upgrades:
🧠 Raspberry Pi 5 — 16 GB RAM as the main controller
🖥️ Add an onboard display/screen
🗣️ Add an AI speaking and voice-interaction system
🚶 Develop a walking system
🛞 Add stronger wheels for improved movement and stability
⚙️ Upgrade the mechanical system and overall robot structure
🤖 Continue developing MK Robot into a smarter, more capable platform

Just finished modifying the arm holder/mount for my DIY robot. The old PLA bracket was flexing too much under load, so I redesigned it to be sturdier.

Watch the clip to see the improved range of motion. The difference is night and day. No more wobbly joints! Next step is to test the weight capacity.

This is my DIY 3D-printed cycloidal gearbox, designed and built from scratch in my room. Every part was printed, assembled, and tested to create a compact gearbox with high torque, low backlash, and smooth motion.
There are still improvements to make, but that’s part of the engineering journey. Every prototype gets me one step closer to a better design.
What would you like to see next—torque testing, durability testing, or a full assembly tutorial?

Built this DIY RV reducer right in my room! 🔧🏠
Designed, 3D printed, assembled, and tested from scratch. Every print, adjustment, and iteration brought me one step closer to a smoother and more reliable gearbox.

After designing and printing the gearbox in-house, it’s time to see how much torque it can actually handle. Early results look promising — more testing and improvements coming soon!
