Internal assembly and mechanical adjustments on Novacore’s platform
In progressCore team member · internal assembly & design adjustments
I contribute to the internal assembly and mechanical design adjustments of Novacore’s expressive-face platform as part of the 深穹星核 team.
Project goal
The expressive-face platform gives embodied-interaction ideas a physical form. My focus is the internal mechanism: assembling the hardware and refining its mechanical layout within the team platform.
Design choices
Start from the platform layout
Work with the existing internal structure and the team’s platform design.
Connect assembly and design
Use the hands-on assembly process to work through mechanical fit and design adjustments.
Coordinate mechanical changes
Keep internal mechanism adjustments consistent with the surrounding platform layout.
Physical hardware for multimodal interaction
深穹星核 brings together hardware, AI and interaction work around Novacore’s expressive-face platform. The broader direction explores how intent and multimodal information could connect to physical interaction, with the platform providing a tangible setting for that work.
The project entered the university round of the China International College Students’ Innovation Competition in the “AI+” category of the graduate entrepreneurship group. I joined the team through the physical-platform work.
Internal assembly and mechanical refinement
My work centers on assembling the platform’s internal mechanism and contributing mechanical design adjustments. It connects the internal CAD layout with the practical arrangement of the physical hardware.
The team platform is the starting point for this work: I participate in assembly and refinement within that existing design. The CAD view and physical platform photograph below show the two sides of this process.
Alongside the expressive-face platform, I am exploring ways to connect embodied hardware such as MicroDuck with the interaction workflow. The focus is on bringing model-driven interaction ideas into a physical prototype setting.
