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)

Posted by gentledragon90 on 8:13 PM comments (0)

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)

Posted by gentledragon90 on 8:08 PM comments (0)

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.

ALIAS can automatically discriminate between human beings and Non living things. If the identified object is a living thing ALIAS tries to recognize the face and the gesture of person. If the object is a non living thing ALAIS tries to identify the object and gives its main characteristics. It can be programmed to navigate between two stations automatically using GPS technology. It can find the shortest path between two stations automatically and can be used as an AGV. It can find the distance between its target and itself using ultrasonic distance measurement system. It uses innovative technology of LADAR to make a 3D distance contour map based on Laser and Infrared.( Still under development ) ALIAS has temperature measure system with variable coefficient of correction for accurate measurement. It has a Direction sensor which can give the accurate orientation of ALIAS w..r.t. Earth’s Magnetic field. It has a small remote operated payload, which it controls by itself for any critical operation. It has common sense databank, which enables it to make some critical decisions. It can be controlled via voice and gives all its feedback via voice and LCD display. It has an Illumination sensor for automatic adjustment of various thresholds of software-hardware interface modules. Automatic Task planner for most efficient use of movements. On board Power supply for 30 minute backup. Real-time interface with base station for every small atomic function and updating of status. Innovative movement encoding system based on laser. It can talk to the user naturally using NLP software subsystem and voice feedback. Short-range sensors mounted on wheel forks for obstacle detection. Multiplexed sensor input sub-system. Wireless camera for transmission of images to remote server unit. Unique hand position decoder. Detachable Gripper unit for easy loading and unloading of different grippers.

Albert is an autonomous mobile robot built around a Max base from Zagros Robotics -- a local friend, Chris Hostetler, helped get it all working. Total construction time was about 4 months, and I probably spent a little over $1500.00 for parts and labor, not including the price of a refurbished laptop I bought for high level control.
The Pentium 200 laptop is connected to Albert's 68HC11 processor, and provides high level control, voice recognition, and excellent text-to-speech quality. Eventually, I plan to hook up a couple of RF modems for communications with my home PC... and even access the Internet! This set up would allow Albert to, say, wake us up in the morning and tell us the current value of our stock portfolio! (I'll simply have to parse the data coming in from a stock tracking website, and then send it to Albert's text-to-speech routines.)
Here is a complete list of Albert's features:
- a 68HC11 processor
- a Pentium 200 laptop
- 5 sonar sensors
- a digital compass
- 2 optical encoders
- 2 bump sensors
- an analog light sensor
- a 12V 12 Amp/Hour SLA battery
- a radio frequency modem (connects to my home PC)
- a Labtec microphone (for sound sensing and voice recognition)
- voice recognition
- high quality text-to-speech
For additional information, my "Albert Project" website has pictures, sounds, stories, reports, ideas, and more.

Aiko can read any books, newspaper including your handwriting. Has the ability to solve math problems given from any piece of papers. Aiko has the ability to see color pattern of your clothes you are wearing. Aiko has the ability to bring you your orange juice or coffee, another words Aiko can distinguish between the two drinks. She can also recognize simple foods such as Hot Dogs, Hamburger and Sandwich. Aiko has the ability to recognize family member faces, or Aiko can starts to activate defence mode when it does not recognize the person face in the house.

This is a  built for a competetion. It was built for a competition conducted by the TN Fire and rescue services competition. It has to navigate a previously unknown terrain and obstacle course and extungish a candle and mark its position of a survivor.
It uses the compressed coolant canister with a solenoid based valve..to extinguish the candle; and everything autonomously, ie.w/o human intervention

3 in 1 Bot

Posted by gentledragon90 on 9:32 PM comments (0)

This robot was built to compete in the 2008 Robocup Junior Rescue competition. In this competition the robot must "follow a black line which twists and turns, avoid obstacles present on the line, and identify green and aluminium tape victims with a flashing lamp". The robot itself will have three main functions making it a 3 in 1 robot.

RoboThespian

Posted by gentledragon90 on 9:27 PM comments (0)

The news about NASA acquiring a RoboThespian robot first broke last September. What's new is that NASA has committed to its placement at the entrance of the Kennedy Space Center, in Orlando, where it will greet 1.5 million visitors per year, a demanding task even for a robot. Because it must move silently and endure constant wear, this RoboThespian has been outfitted with the same brushless Maxon motors used in the Mars rover. Created by Penryn, Cornwall, U.K. based Engineered Arts Limited, from the get-go RoboThespian has been designed as a performer.
