Ara Factory - Robot production

ARACHNID ROBOT FACTORY PROJECT

Robot Construction Site and Finished Prototypes - Concept models, textures, and machine parts design.

Purpose: Creating machines for environmental control and protection, aimed at improving the human race on a global scale.

Design: Inspired by nature and her blueprints for creating life.

Respecting the environment and all living organisms in the ecosystem, with love for humankind and our evolution. Food production is one of the main resources for the survival of humanity. Dedicated to the book "Six-Legged Soldiers: The Use of Insects in Human History," the concept for this project, "ARA-FACTORY," was created. This is something humanity needs as soon as possible. The machines in this factory will be designed with the latest technology known to humans. Using art and powerful movie scenes for presentations like this one, the ARA-FACTORY will continue to make the prototypes as functional and real as possible.

Energy Source: The ARA-FACTORY Project was created using various information from the internet and books.

The main energy source and support for this project is my family, relatives, and close friends. Their support, care, information, and the multiple software education sessions from the M3DS Academy and their instructors helped this project be realized sooner and with the highest level of perfection.

Electricity is used to power the devices for creating the prototypes and models for the project. Food, air, and clean water are converted to energy by the humans involved in this project.

Technological Equipment: For the creation of all prototypes, including the factory itself, a strict and uniform production line is used.

The base mesh of the model is made in Maya using the available tools and options in this software. These models are created as low-poly models with simple shapes to make the prototypes easy for production and 3D printing.

Rigging the models in Maya is used to check the functionality of the joints in the machinery. With the rig, the models can be used for animations and video presentations.

UV texture mapping is also done in Maya once the model is completed and rigged.

The textures are transferred to Adobe Substance Painter for coloring and material design. Currently, only 18 different shader materials are used for coloring the robot parts. In Substance Painter, details are achieved with Alpha Masks and Normal Maps; these asset images are created using Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop.

When the textures are done, the model can be transferred to Marmoset, Maya, Unreal Engine, Adobe After Effects, or Adobe Substance Stager for recording scenes, photography, turntables, or presentations. For the scenes and images to be created, lights, cameras, and environments are set up in one of these software.

Finally, the recorded materials and images are edited and enhanced with sounds and VFX in Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Premiere Pro, or Adobe After Effects.

MARSARA-O

Mars Terraforming Arachnid Robot - Terrain Processing Earthmover

Purpose: Transforming the land on large scale, drilling holes and canals for water collectors.

Design: Inspired by the shape and form of the "Rhynocoris annulatus" larva.

This predatory insect has the right positioning of its legs to support and carry its heavy abdomen. The long limbs help the insect move quickly over any terrain and stabilize itself in one place.

Energy Source: MARSARA-O uses two small cold fusion generators placed on top of its abdomen.

The front and middle legs are larger and have additional energy support. Hydrogen engines are installed in the middle of the larger legs to power the strong hydraulic systems in its legs.

Technological Equipment: The legs of the MARSARA-O are constructed to support and carry heavy equipment and stabilize the body during excavation.

In its abdomen, this robot carries hard rock drilling machinery. This drilling rig can be used for digging deep vertical holes in the ground, similar to large water wells. If covered, these holes can provide the perfect environment for the development of living organisms like fungi, mosses, or bacteria.

The microorganisms inhabiting the walls of the cave will produce gases and create breathable air pockets or chambers. This terraforming technique was presented in the movie "Prometheus." By lowering the depth of the drill, the large legs of MARSARA-O can drag the body over the landscape, creating canals to connect the holes or making riverbeds.

LARA M1

Lunar Arachnid Robot Rover - Climbing Robot

Purpose: Exploration of natural satellites or moons in our solar system.

Design: Inspired by the shape and form of the "Blue Crab".

The capabilities of this marine animal to move through hard rock surfaces and coral reefs at the bottom of the ocean make it the perfect candidate for this job.

Energy Source: The LARA Rover is a hybrid, equipped with 4x4 solar panels mounted on top of the body, and a hydrogen generator and hydrogen engine placed at the back. The hydrogen energy is used as a backup when the rover cannot collect enough solar energy.

Technological Equipment: All six legs of the LARA Rover are equipped with wheels and a hydraulic claw at the end of each leg.

The legs are created from different joints, making them capable of rotating and bending in all directions. These mechanical limbs allow the rover to move over rocky terrain and even climb cliffs and hard-to-reach places. It climbs ice walls by pressing one claw at a time into the surface. This same technique can be used to stabilize itself while taking samples.

On the front of the body, LARA has two robot arms, called "Maxillae" (singular: Maxilla). These robot arms offer 60 degrees of freedom and a full 360 degrees of rotation. The end of each Maxilla has four fingers to grab and manipulate objects, acting like pincers. They can be used to hold and manipulate rocks or other materials.

In the center of the fingers, there is an extending drill used for grinding holes in rocks and collecting samples for further analysis. All six sides of the rover's body have cameras and infrared sensors, sending the controller a 360-degree view of the rover's surroundings.

GOLIATH 6

Water Transporter Robot - Frontline Firefighting Robot

Purpose: Environmental protection and water transport.

Design: Inspired by the shape and legs of aquatic birds.

Examples include the Shoebill, Stork, and Flamingo.

The form of these limbs allows the robot to move across different types of terrain, easily adjusting to swamps, mountains, and forests.

Energy Source: Hydrogen engine placed on the back of the robot, above the water containers.

Technological Equipment: Utilizing the latest machine technology in heavy equipment, the GOLIAT 6 has two strong hydraulic systems in its legs. At the top of the robot, two high-pressure water guns are installed. Alongside firefighting capabilities, they can be used for various purposes.

VARA 4D

Worker Arachnid Robot - Construction and Repair Droid

Purpose: To complete simple tasks around construction sites or working areas. Used in places dangerous or difficult for humans to enter.

Design: Inspired by the shape and form of the box jellyfish Tamoya ohboya. The tool mechanism, placed under the droid, is designed similarly to the structure and actions of the bacteriophage. This combination of organisms added the "V" to the name of the droid.

Energy Source: Electricity - Rechargeable battery

Technological Equipment: The 4 legs on the VARA droid are controlled by AI balance software, which makes the droid easy to control.

Various tools can be installed in the tool core of this droid. Depending on the task requirements, VARA droids can be equipped with a drilling tool, an iron welding gun, a laser, or configured as a portable 3D printer. The cameras on the body of the droid allow the operator a 360-degree view of the surroundings and control of the tools accordingly.

DB-A

Drone Ball Android - Flying Surveillance Droid

Purpose: Control and surveillance over a desired area. Used in places dangerous or difficult for humans to reach.

Design: Inspired by the shape and form of the human eyeball.

The spherical shape of the armor has the perfect aerodynamic properties for this drone to maneuver freely in every direction in the air.

Energy Source: Electricity - Rechargeable battery - Inductive charging

Technological Equipment: Alongside the sensors for orientation during flight, DB-A Drones are equipped with multiple cameras, infrared sensors, 3D scanners, lasers, moisture and radiation detectors, and red lights with sound for alarms. Inside the drone, there is a set of 6 protected propellers, and on the outside, the "two rings" surrounding the sphere control the direction of flight.
