Adding a craftsmanship to the robot needs precise learning, prototyping and calculations.
By studying the present tools we were able to learn and apply techniques for bending metal sheets.
And then we set up some goals to be achieved with the new tool we are going to build.
And as a very early start, we built a prototype to grip and bend.
However, we found imperfection in controlling the crease position and the angle of bending.
Therefore, New design and strategy was made to achieve the wanted target from the tool.
