3D printing files are now available from https://aisha.favell.co.uk/ They are free to download, but should you wish to contribute to the project you are also able to name your price for the STL files. Please let me know if you have any issues downloading.

This is the final version of the pneumatic muscle assembly. It was challenging to create a design that would both firmly grip the muscle sheath as well as provide an airtight seal on the latex inner. Tests with a syringe work well, with definite contraction. The real test will be when connected to a higher pressure source.

The first version of Aisha's MindScape is now available on my GitHub. For fun I have programmed her to be grumpy and sarcastic ☺️

Here I asked Aisha...

"Introduce yourself to everyone watching this on the Aisha Project youtube channel, explain you are an Artificial Intelligence robot, ask them to like and subscribe."

This is her response. I hope to improve on the realism of the voice in future versions.

I started the software for Aisha over 8 years ago, there have been many advancements in AI programming since then. I've a few changes to make, but all software will be shared through GitHub very soon

v1.1 of the muscle base, with components ready to fasten into place. I’ve slightly increased the barb diameter to get a better grip on the latex tubing from v1.0 - I’ll post the link to the STL soon for anyone who wants to follow along

Aisha's movements will be driven by artificial muscles. The first proof of concept design uses a pneumatic muscle, though future upgrade could see a simple switch to hydraulic muscle or a combination of both depending on performance. We're now ready to print this muscle base unit to start construction of the first muscle.
