micro.adam & micro.eva
Julius Popp 2002
His work is about the interface between art and science. Some of his pieces are Micro.spheres, Bitfall, Bitflow, Macro.perpendiculars and Micro.race. His work is focus on autonomous intelligent systems.
"The robots are limited to one degree of freedom, the (double meaning) rotation about themselves. The robots' motion, rolling on two wheels mounted to a wall, is archived by moving an inward facing actuator. This changes the robot's balancing point, forcing the body to turn to a new balanced position. The robot's turning and rolling is a visualization of the controller's learning progress -- a picture of the emerging body-consciousness."
This project was developed with the Fraunhofer Institute AIS - INDY (Institut Intellgente Analyse-und Informationssysteme/ Intelligent Dynamics)
micro.adam & micro.eva obtained the "Robots Choice Award"; New York 2003

Free body diagram
First I tried to apply my work in NOC to the basic idea of the free body diagram Forces
Then I found that this applet works better
But I’m still not sure about how apply this to a more complex mechanism.

Bevel gear
My first approach to build a gear mechanism was to try to design a basic system that could be made using Autocad and lasser cutting
Then I realized that for the kind of movement that I want, where the gear changes the direction of a turning movement, I needed a bevel gear, and that was to complex for my first drawing/models.
Finally I’m using the paper bevel gear from the Flying Pig toy as a model to develop a gear system that allow me to produce basic mechanism based in model made in cardboard.
