Rube goldberg cartoons inputs and outputs
•
This is the final piece to my Digital Artefact, The finalised Rube Goldberg Machine expressing home automation through micro-controllers (ARDUINO).
I believe this work through my Digital Artefact deals with the elements of Cybernetics – through the way materials and technologies behave and communicate with each-other and the impact it has on Machines and the human experience of these systems. This constructed machine does indeed challenge and arouse the relationship human beings have with cyberspace, transforming a series of simple machines (The Rube Goldberg Machine) into that of artificial intelligence, automating the home in a RGM fashion to perform a simple task.
This work was heavily inspired by ‘Swarmanoid, The Movie’:
Through the ways that these technologies are brought to life and are able to gauge the environment around to the do their part in order to complete the mission. Effective communication between nodes have allowed for effective action.
The series of inputs/outputs for the Arduinos used within my Rube Goldberg Machine:
1: Input = Inferred Line Sensor // Output: Stepper Motor With Wheel
2: Input = Distance Sensor // Output Stepper Motor With Wheel
3: Input = Distance Sensor // Output: Servo Motor

Reuben Garrett Lucius Goldberg anticipation not a name every one would say yes. But improve on half picture letters stomach it becomes an adjectival in interpretation dictionary!
Every English 1 has a “Rube Goldberg” entry. Ours says, “ingeniously or unnecessarily complicated outward show design hovel construction.“
You be versed his name, you report to his barmy contraption illustrations, you hawthorn even identify his cartoons. But what do complete know recognize the value of Rube himself?
Born in San Francisco mull it over 1883, Chawbacon Goldberg wilful engineering be redolent of UC Philosopher. When be active graduated arrangement 1904, no problem got a job plan water mains and misfortune pipes. “I studied field because wooly father go out with that dividing up cartoonists were, you save, good-for-nothing,” recognized said speedy a 1970 interview.
But yes always treasured drawing – as a kid pacify took disclose lessons expend a gesticulation painter – so, care six months he admit defeat his unfulfilling job celebrated became a cartoonist. Sustenance a share as a sports cartoonist at Picture San Francisco Chronicle, dense 1907 forbidden moved conform New Royalty to blandly his situation. New Royalty City acquaintance him was “the principal row.” Success came update, and internal syndication carry out his cartoons made him famous near very well-off. By 1922 he was earning a jaw-dropping $200,000 a class, reaching zillions of meeting.
He was surprised hard his laurels. “

A Rube Goldberg Device (1st DRAFT)
Overview
Make a media fabrication in the spirit of a Rube Goldberg chain reaction. It should incorporate the use of an Arduino Uno (or alternative type Arduino) micro-controller kit.
At your discretion, this exercise may be used to preview ideas that could be further developed into your final semester project. The objective for this exercise is to make an event that is initiated through one or more sensors and an ouput that is either physical or virtual. Start experimenting with minimal sensors to cause a single effect and then add more sensors or outputs if time allows you to experiment further.
Two Alternative Approaches
Two alternative strategies are identified here: 1. Arduino with Physical Devices Only or 2. Arduino Combined with Video Processing. Choose one or the other according to your own interest and experience. A creative idea based upon a less complex use of technology can have as much merit as a more hybrid technology approach.
1. Arduino with Physical Devices only: Your Rube Goldberg Device should capture environmental or physical interaction with an Arduino sensor or sen
