robot can walk forwards or backwards in a straight line or at angles (turning). It can also walk side to side. It s a fairly simplistic design, it walks around searching for the best light source so it can recharge

AMORO (built by Sukwon Kim)

This is a AMORO robot for Robot competition. I have concerned about Robot that contain the manuplator. This Robot search something and process the signal of reflected light, sensing, so that can separate the position of each other something. This robot have eight infrared sensor at front of that for sensing and searching and have them at bottom of body for sensing of line. We apply the 'P' control way to the robot so that can follow the line moreover RC server is used to control of manuplator and using the tongsfor decreased friction of body. Therefore We will show the pussy robot that can separate the different thing. So far total time to build has been about 4 months and cost is around 300 dollars

Ambler (built by James Mullins)

Ambler is a two motor walker with a one degree of freedom head. It is based on BEAM bicore technology and is highly positively phototropic. It swings it's head in the direction of brighter light and the body follows. The tactile sensors allow the walker to turn and reverse from objects. It operates on two 3VDC camera batteries. It's frame is made from hand made brass pieces bolted together with 2mm hex screws. It's three gearmotors are BG Miocros or Nihon lens motors and are roughly a 100:1 gear ratio. The bot sports many little details, such as a flip up custom PCB, indicator LEDs to show the controller pulses and mini shock absorbers on the front legs. The cost to build was roughly 80.00 US.

AMBER is a low-cost robot designed to investigate an unconventional approach to artificial intelligence. AMBER is a Talrik Jr. robot kit base from http://www.mrrobot.com/ with many different features.
- A BASIC Stamp II serves as the primary control processor.
- 3 bump sensors located left, center and right around a floating wooden bumper ring
- 3 photocellular light sensors
- 1 2x16 line LCD display from www.seetron.com
- 2 wheel differential steering
- 2 fingered gripper with 2 servos and 1 MSC servo
controller from http://www.seetron.com/
- custom-made cute pink bow
AMBER is controlled by a robust, high-speed neural network. She is able to find a soda can with a lightbulb on top of it. After finding it, she can grab it and hide it in the dark.
Had problems with stupid BASIC Stamp II's memory allocation glitch where it doesn't recognize the programmed dimensions of certain variables. It would read a word as a byte, and a byte as a nibble and so on. Fixed it by making a dummy variable to move the memory pointer to a fresh new word.
AMBER took about a week to build. She cost about $250. Without all the fires and lost parts, could've easily cost $150.

 is based on 8051 microcontroller, designed completely from scratch - own sensory and communication systems, propulsion circuitry (PWM, etc), real-time software, etc. Besides robot designing, hardware and circuit soldering, I really enjoyed working on "brains" of the robot's MCU, i.e. its behaviour.
