Here’s the first test of Squid in a robotics application. Although Squid is designed to be controlled by an external controller such as a Raspberry Pi, Squid can also operate in a standalone mode.  In this video, Squid is controlling a simple insect-like robot using layered behaviors. With a lot of onboard resources, I can think of a lot of add ons I might add to the robot. I have additional updates I want to add like I2C and analog to digital conversion, but with the first operational Squid, I wanted to jump ahead a bit and place Squid on a robot. Below are a couple of pictures of the bot with Squid as its controller. The robot can now also very easily be controlled through a Bluetooth connection.
