This repository contains the CAD file for the Jenny 5, which is a human size, multi-purpose robot. It has a mobile platform, a pliable leg, 2 arms and head.

Jenny5 is open source with a permisible license (MIT) so that anyone can build and improve.

The press View all button (or Ctrl+Shift+V) to view the entire robot and use the mouse to navigate.

Note that left button drag means rotate, right button drag means move and the wheel means zoom.

Project structure

The project is divided into several folders:

  • robot folder, which contains parts specific to Jenny 5 robot. This folder contains the main file of the project: jenny5.scad
  • basic_scad folder, which contains general parts (like motors, bearings, screws, nuts, housings, etc) which are required to build the robot or something else.

The robot folder contains 5 subfolders:

  • arm. The main file is arm.scad.
  • base_platform. The main file is base_platform.scad
  • body. The main file is body.scad. Please note that arms are connected to body only in the main file of the project ( jenny5.scad ).
  • head. The main file is head.scad.
  • leg. The main file is leg.scad.

Parameters

The current position of the leg and arms is stored as numerical values (angles).

These parameters are stored in the following files:

One can modify these parameters in order to simulate a new position for leg or arms.

One can change the color of the plastic parts from file basic_scad/material_colors.scad. Check OpenSCAD manual for a list of possible colors.

Warning

  • This is work in progress.
