Description

This robot was designed as a proof of concept for an educational robot that could easily be reprogramed over the internet. The Idea behind this robot was to create a platform that could be programmed easily without the need for a user to download and install any software packages. The inherent benefit of this is that the robot could be programmed from anything with internet access and a web browser. This would be beneficial for an educational environment because no software maintenance would be needed and this platform would be plug and play no matter what os the school system runs.

Details

Admittedly as a proof of concept this robot was overkill. It boasts a 9 DOF IMU, Bluetooth , WIFI, 915Mhz RF module, Raspberry pi 2 as the main processor, a atmega2560 for lowlevel interfacing and a 72 RGB led matrix for animations.
