How to Build a Robot Tutorial - Society of Robots

Motivation is key to success.Why build a robot? What are your motivations? Do they look cool? Ok now that you know why you want to build a robot, lets talk about what you need to know . . . Ok I am ready, what do I need to start? Obviously the first is MONEY. Your future robots will become more affordable as you become more skilled and have more useful parts around your place. Ok I got my bling money, now lets spend it! But first you need a design. So your first robot will have 2 wheels. So what do I need to have differential drive? Let's start with the wheels. Ok now the motors. My recommendations for your first robot motors: Voltage: 5V-8V Torque: double what you think you will need There are many websites selling DC motors. A Technical Guide To Building Fighting Robots. Robot polymorphique. « « Accueil actualités « « Superbots : super robots Vous ne connaissez pas les superbots ?

robot polymorphique

Ces robots sont constitués de modules tous identiques qui peuvent, de manière autonome, s'assembler, pivoter etc. Ces robots dits « polymorphiques » sont alors capables de se lever, de ramper ou de rouler selon le mode de déplacement qui convient le mieux à la situation. Comme l’explique Wei-Min Shen de l’Institut des Sciences de l’Information de l’Université de Californie du Sud, Reportage TV sur les superbots, robots modulaires Un superbot est constitué de modules autonomes qui peuvent s’assembler pour former différents systèmes capables d’effectuer diverses tâches (d'où le polymorphisme).

Cette configuration confère une grande flexibilité. Un robot-lego Les modules possèdent à la fois des capteurs internes et externes pour tenir compte de leur position et des facteurs environnementaux. En fait, chaque module est un robot à lui tout seul. Vidéo de la marche du superbot Traduction par Kristell Roser. CoilOsapien - Robosapien V2 Coilgun. Playground - RoboSapienIR. :: The Background :: Many of the WowWee robots are ideal for hacking.

The RoboSapien Version 1.0 is very complex inside and simple at the same time. Doing a simple motor and switch count though yeilds 9 Motors and 8 Switches. Assuming you want both forward and reverse on each motor you would need on the order or 26 digital/analog IO pins. The Arduino barebones from Modern Device has 13 digital and 6 analog but that is not enough to replace all this functionality.

So a "Wedge" implementation seemed the best choice. Location of the head connector. Basically I powered the Barebones Arduino board off the VCC of the RoboSapien. :: The Wiring :: I am working on some diagrams. Set USB/EXT Jumper to EXT Set J2 You need to solder an additional wire to the Red (VCC) wire on the head connector and run to the +5V on the Arduino.

That is it. :: The Software :: The heavy lifting is done by the RSReadCommand subroutine. If two RSStop bytes are received again normal remote control is restored. Karl See also. Parallax Home.

ArdBot - Making Robots with the Arduino - Construction Notes

The ArdBot is an economical and expandable autonomous desktop robot that’s powered by an Arduino Uno (or compatible) microcontroller development board. Like all expandable robots, the ArdBot is designed as as a permanent work-in-progress. It’s never truly finished, and that includes updates, and finding new and better ways of doing things. Here's you'll find provides updates, downloadable program code, and alternative designs. ArdBot Episodes To get you started with the ArdBot here's the first four (of seven) installments of the Making Robots with the Arduino series, as they appeared in SERVO Magazine.
