The robot was built for my final year project. I started in March and finished in September 2022.
Consider liking and subscribing.
1800 CHF and over 750h were "invested or wasted" on this project.

What features does the shuttle have?
It can drive forward (only forward), both axes are steerable, there are led strips and two DIY PCBs as headlights. There is also an alarm on board (12V piezo). The Lithium batteries (18650 lipo-cells) were custom made. There are 6 distance sensors, facing different directions. The motherboard features a 4G module, an acceleration sensor, two H-bridges, a speaker-module (unused).
Everything is controlled with an Arduino Mega and a radio controller.
All 3 different PCBs were ordered from JLCPCB (I am not sponsored by them.)
Why did I do this?
Well, the simple answer is, that I always wanted to build a go-kart. And I thought building a delivery shuttle, would be cheaper and easier (I was wrong).
What grade did I get?
In the end I got a 5. the range in Switzerland is from 1 to 6. 6 marks the best. I got a B in American terms, which is generally acceptable, just not for this much trouble.
Why is the shuttle named Ikarus?
If you are familiar with Greek mythology, you’ll know that Ikarus (Icarus) was the name of that one guy that flew too close to the sun and fell from the sky.
I just thought, this story is somewhat relatable to my situation, as I have also aimed too high. (and fell hard too.)
I hope you enjoyed this video and I’m aware of the fact, that a part of the information was cut because nobody wants to be lectured for 45 minutes straight.

Become youtube guy
hello 😂
I am from USA
great vid
All of those pitfalls you struck are so familiar. Welcome to the frustrating and rewarding field of engineering, fabricating, and developing!
As a professional programmer and a hobby roboticist learning ROS, I guess I'm part of the 10% that would like to see dat code :) Congrats on the project, the design, presentation, editing were all top notch. I am super disappointed this is the only video on your channel.
Thank you! I hope to upload some more videos in the next few months :)
@@K3rim would be cool to see your code too :3
@Eric Wieland I feel like those statistics don't apply to his general audience
:( me part of 10
Mee toooooo
Hey man, great job! For a one-person engineering group that not only designed the mechanical part, the electronics, programming, and also machined and assembled everything this is amazing! You're like a swiss army knife!
Thank you very much man :)
@@K3rim This is the comment I was looking for. The roles broken down would be relatively easy for any engineer, but to do them all is pretty cool. It is obvious that you have a great future ahead!
@@K3rim the funny thing is this might actually be a little better than others lol
He is following the steps of "Stuff Made Here". Very nice work and experience. Curious how his future projects will turn out!
That one special instance, where the TH-cam algorithm gets it right and recommends this video to me. Fun to watch, interesting build, nice energy. I subscribed in the hope you will create more in the future. Your ingenuity and perseverance will get you far in life! Good luck!
Thank you very much for your comment! I’m happy you enjoyed the vieo and hope to publish some more builds im the future. :)
@@K3rimadvice: upload in smaller chunks. You get a built-in sanity check as you put your thought process into words when you write the script, AND you get feedback from knowledgeable people that might help you avoid bad choices.
Honestly, I think it's an amazing project. The problems you encountered are completely normal to encounter especially while studying, don't be too hard on yourself. Good job and nice work on the video, was really entertaining to watch.
Thank you :)
Yep those kinds of problems are basically universal, especially the time struggle near the deadline 😂
Wow man! Though everything may not have gone the way you wanted it to, trust me when I say you still did amazing. I do understand how something that seems so simple take forever, it's always like that. Mad respect to you and I wish you more success!
Every engineering final project should require a youtube video of what went wrong as part of the assessment. There'd be thousands of hours of hilarity produced every year.
Instant subscribe from someone who also bit off more than they could chew 👍
I bet you could make a career out of building things and documenting your engineering process online. This was great and I love the look of the finished product!
Criminally underrated. Deserved a sub.
Thank you :)
As an engineer, I really appreciate seeing such an honest presentation of how a project goes. You've built something cool, and it's totally expected that lots of little things will go wrong. A lot of creators skip past the hard parts and just present the finished version of each step, but your video gives the real flavor of doing engineering work. It's hard, we make mistakes, and with a lot of persistence and frustration we get to a working solution. Then we criticize it, find all its flaws, and start over again. Brilliant job, both with your project and with the exposition.
Hey that's fucking amazing, I don't get how you only got 5. And the documentation work too is amazing. It takes so much energy to record everything and make a good story out of it. I want to see what you make next!
Isn’t 6 the best grade in Switzerland?
@@Dotfo15 So apparently in Switzerland, 6 is Excellent, 5.5 is Very good, 5 Good, 4.5 Satisfactory, 4 Sufficient, 3.5 Insufficient, 3 Poor, and 2.5-1 Very poor. I'm impressed with what he built, but I can see how the professors and others over there would only give it a "good" grade because of all the problems it still had, and how it physically didn't look completely polished and stuff. K3RIM also mentioned that he didn't do well on the writing part, so that must've been a pretty big point eater as well.
@@bustanut4610from my experience, novelty also is a factor. Because ultimately this is an RC car, not autonomous. I honestly understand the pain of how we put so much engineering into it but we don't get the best score because it the use case isn't "unique".
Mad respect for all the effort, finding sponsors, the insane amount of time you put into this and for the memes ;) ❤
Proud. 😤
More creators must do this type of futuristic builds
Self landing rocket , something like Falcon 9 or walking dog would be great .
It will make viewers excited and engaged👍👍
The algorithm finally recommended something actually good 🙌
Oh, and show me the code! Need more in depth videos for those 10% I'm apparently a part of.
Dude this is spectacular! Even most engineers can't pull this off on their own. I understand why you got a B not A. Maybe like me, your Prof expected a delivery app integrated and also having autonomous capability. So novelty/impact is a crucial aspect of grading.
Bro this is one of the most entertaining projects I've ever seen in my life, keep up the grind man :)
I work in the area of driver assistance systems and automated driving for more than a decade. You really choose a hard topic.
As a hoby I started building some machines. I never trusted my abilities to use metalstructures, I still build wooden frames. Wood is cheap, light weight and easy to handle... as long as changing humidity doesn't bend your structure ;-)
Your video encourages me to go back to my workshop and work on my project (DIY pinball machine).
What an awesome project! You did a great job documenting and editing the process. Can't wait to see more builds!
Swiss engineering are its finest. Great job.
Don't worry about the grade. Any potential employer you tell about this crazy project will be happy to hire you on the spot.
I don't know if that's a compliment but I haven't seen many Swiss stuff break like a chinese bridge after 5 years so I guess it's positive.
Absolutely amazing, congrats!! Probably one of the best videos of hobbyists i’ve ever seen.
I'm very impressed with what you achieved. I manage software projects for a living, and in my opinion the process, the mistakes and the experiences you described is pretty much exactly what every junior developer goes through on their first projects. Now what you did is way more challenging though. Engineering, hardware development, firmware, software, time management, dealing with the consequences of your own choices, you've got all the boxes crossed. That's just an impressively complex project. I wish everyone had the opportunity to do something like this as part of their formal training.
Seeing you do this, I'm thinking "That guy has a bright future and career ahead of him." Wishing you all the best, and thank you for sharing this video!
The Charging system with the pull out battery compartment is really clever 🔥
Don't worry... even a natural/bare finish on the aluminum would have needed prep work. At minimum a good cleaning because Aluminum is very sensitive to weld contamination from dirt and oxides.
Very cool project, man. You accomplished quite a lot in a relatively short amount of time. 4 wheel steering, too? You are a madman!
Well… welding the aluminium was a little nightmare for itself. Next time I‘m probably gonna go with steel or some materials, that are easier to weld. Anyways it‘s nice to hear that you enjoyed the video! :)
Man, I'm not too sure that this comment is gonna change anything, but please and just please keep recording and doing this kind of stuff, you have "it" in you and your video is awesome. Just that my dude, I wanted you just say how awesome you are. Keep doing it.
A creative project & wow what wonderful editing + humor! I’m envious of your perseverance. I work for a robotics company (Owned by a rainforest) & they build 1500 package delivery robots costing 25-30k a pop which required a person to open a lid to access their package. It was pretty dumb.
Anyway You’re going to do great things, your pitfalls are nothing in the scheme of getting a complex system to work.
Congrats on the huge achievement! Eine 5 ist "criminally underrated", genau so wie dein Channel ;P
So ein Projekt als Maturarbeit umzusetzen (inklusive PCB design, programmieren, CAD, manufacturing, video, etc) ist echt spitze!
Häsch uf jede Fall en wiitere Subscriber :))
Keep rocking it, fellow Swiss tinkerer & creator! Love it!
Viele Dank :D
Excellent job and quite an ambicious final year project you have picked there! Thanks for openly sharing all the details of the making, I really enjoyed watching. Keep up the spirit and regards from Germany!
I have ever done something similar to you. I realized how talented I am without sufficient rest. You feel your mind and body can almost work 100% output. Never thought I have that kind of potential. Of course, this is not a good story we should told to our kids but still a memorable time. PS, I get an A luckily.
It’s crazy this is your first video. I think it’s very well done. Looking forward to future videos man
This project is beyond impressive. The video doesn't do the time and dedication that went into this justice
You are making a nice job, don't give up! The world needs more guys like you to make it better. God bless you! Congrats from Brazil!!!
Loved the editing, nice idea, seemed like little brother of cybertruck :)
cant belive im here before 4k subs. the trials and agony of being in rnd and designing almost everything from scratch with a tight deadline and low budget. honestly pretty impressive, cant wait to see what else you got in store for us
Congrats on going this far, I mean you made it. Amazing and Unique final year Project. ❤
This is one of the best individual projects I've ever seen, congratulations!!!!
If you're making something with a lot of bends out of square tubing, an easy way to get repeatable "angles" in it, is to mark your bend location on the outer side. Then cut a "wedge" out of it, leaving the outer edge to hold it together. Bend, and weld the 3 sides instead of 4.
And junkyards. Get your material from junkyards.
That was awesome (very well cut) loved the list of wrong at the end. Laughed a lot (with simpathy) I think I learnt a lot from your mistakes. Thanks for sharing in such a fun, humourous and well presented manner!
Considering that this is the start of your engineering and TH-cam career, I think you good job!
Man, that was great. As a mechatronics engineering student, let me tell you, i feel your pain. I'm definitely not taking such a huge task for my graduation lol.
Definitely interested in more details like the code and the PCB design process. Wish you all the best.
I went to your channel and saw that this is your first video and holy crap the production quality is phenomenal! I'm subscribed and cannot wait to see what you have in store for next! :D
This is such a nice video, gives me stuff made here vibes. Keep up the good work my man. Hope to see stuff from you in the futute 😁
Holy crap, dude. This project is insanely awesome and you should be damn proud of yourself for pulling it off. Greetings from the middle of Germany, you just gained another subscriber haha
i think that's the only time TH-cam algorithm works right, good job 👍🏻
Awesome video! Loved seeing all the hard work
As an electrical engineering dropout from half a year ago who got a programming job in order to get some necessary money I needed I feel kind of jealous. The project looks really fun and diverse in the various skillsets put to use. Hope you had fun and good luck with the last years!
Thanks for the inspiration Kerim, I'm planning to build one robot too for my final year project. Keep it up! Subbed.
Amazing work. Thank you for including all the mishaps and wrong choices, helps to learn for others mistakes.
Very impressed. Not only did you build it all yourself, but it actually looks quite good too (something that hobbyists and makers often overlook!)
ALL OF THIS FOR A B? NAHHH WE GOTTA SIGN A PETITION OR SOMETHING. AT THE VERY LEAST A B+ for the sheer effort and the fact that it did function in the end
This is super cool!!! Even if it wasn't perfect in the end the leaning potential from a project like this is insane.
Also I like the editing :)
dude, this is genuinly awesome. this is the kind of content i think people (myself included of course) wanna see. if you ever have to do another project like this, or something for fun, i and many others would love to see it.
I'll do my best, but I set the bar to high on myself with this delivery shuttle. :/ So future content may not be this extra.
@@K3rim eh, I think even if you're not making genuine robots it will still be awesome.
This is actually fun to watch as someone having the same troubles as I did in the past :) Wonderful job! Tebrikler!
Amazing video, as someone studying engineering I can definitely appreciate this project.
Dang ! The result is a bit underwelming but doing all that stuff by yourself from scratch is just crazy impressive !
Looking forward for your next videos !
Ur super talented really cool build man. A jack of all trades for sure!
Your popping off man, great video!
Well done...... even the video itself was entertaining
Good luck in the future.. you obviously have talent and drive
Great job, very good video, really well put together.
Look forward to more projects. 👍
Respekt was du da entwickelt und gebaut hast. Ich beschäftige mich auch selbst mit all den Themen und weiß wie verdammt viel Arbeit das alles ist... Mach weiter so!! :)
Ich bin glaube auch nicht der einzige der sich über noch mehr solcher mega Videos freuen würde :)
I am just amazed at the quality of your Video. I would love to see you could spread out things into more Videos, going into Detail.
Continue what you are doing and you are on a great Road to Success.
Well done! Happy to be a part of the project.
The video is done so well your channel is too small for this kind of quality and deserves more subs!
Very cool and complicated build. Keep up the good work, a lot of engineering is about redesigning.
The pain will fade, the glory will stay!
Gut gemacht!
Well done sir, don't be too hard on yourself .
You are going to be very successful in your career , I have subscribed and look forward to more content. Well done mate
Keep going! You have learned a lot!
Great video, excited to see what comes next from this channel. I can definitely relate to shooting yourself in the foot by making an unnecessarily complex design.
This was an awesome video! Looking forward to more!!
Well played dude, I really like the video and how you described your errors.
Keep going like that !
You are inspiration! well done!
One thought is, you could buy a power wheels toy for kids at like $200-400, and just put groceries in that and drive it around too :)
Looks like a video from a TH-camr with at least 200000 subs, shocked to see this was your only video and with 3000 subs. Amazing work and quality for the video and the project
An extremely ambitious project that mostly worked -- at least by the end of the video. If that was the state it was shown in, I think you deserved more than a 5 -- along with a talk about setting project scope! :-D
I was like: I want to see more of this guy, opened your channel and was surprised to find out that this is your first video. Hope to see more cool content soon
Ahhh i hate the schriftliche part of school projects like this
Yeah man, me too.
good work on that project, even with all the problems it ended up having and hey 1800chf isnt too too bad for what you were able to make
Good job dude I hope we get to see more of you!
Yeah great video mate keep doing interesting projects like that and you will blow up in youtube in no time :)
Classic overengineering for the first prototype... Love it! :)
What a cool design!
It seems that all nighters and desperate project work seem to be a universal, even across the pond. Even som this thing is impressive for one person in 3 months on such a limited budget. I’ve seen startups withs hundreds of thousands of dollars that have barely even finished the documentation that you did. Excited to see more out of the channel, and you most definitely earned a like from me.
Good luck on future projects!
-J
You are a good programmer with a lot of passion you will go far if you just believe
PLEASE CONTINUE THIS PROJECT!!!! And make a company from this! A lot of logistics would really want to buy if you sell this.
10% here! Hearing about the programming would be neat! :D
I'm excited to see more videos, 'cause I know whatever it is will be cool.
This deserves many more views, it will probably blow up someday in the future
EXCELLENT VIDEO ... and bloody hell .. REAL REAL REAL !
Awsome video! I love to see enginnering at work!
Doesn't matter what the outcome is, the learning experience you had is extremely valuable. Practical skills learned will carry on to many successful projects. You tried to do the impossible in an impossible timeline. Billion dollar companies haven't been able to make this concept work. I would give you a (A) for the effort and a (A) for the fact you actually made all that at least function to some extent.
Great work, well done!
Its so cool to see other students my age building badass things like this! Just a tip for the simple 3d printed parts - 4mm plate steel with spacers in-between could achieve the same effect with much better material properties! (its also much much easier to weld than aluminium and you can just paint it to solve the rust issue). Also, rivnuts!!!
Wow. This was the best video I have seen for a beginner TH-camr. I did not know you could get companies to sponsor your school projects. Could you make a video of what you emailed the companies?
by the way, I planned to build such a transport in the future, but you have the right amount for this. It's very cool
Really cool video nice to see a creator from switzerland keep up the work!!
It looks good. But I'm thinking one the size of a pallet for transporting large loads over a short distance for warehouse work. Autonomous of course.
big works.
never give up....keep going
yo bro thing is awesome i think you deserve more
Thats super impressive you can count another hobby builder to your subscriber list!
Awesome project 🤩👍👍👍
Keep going bro! Love it
Super idee min kolleg!
Vo dä idee zur umsetzig alles isch eifach super!
Warte gpannt uf dis nächste project! :D
