Robot Localization
Log from Infrastructure and Construction Robot Swarm
One of the biggest problems with precise motion in robotics is localization. Encoders are only so accurate and tend to drift over time. Absolute positioning systems like GPS have error margins measured in meters. The solutions to this is often complicated...

Full Robot Build
Log from TOPS
Design The single-leg design hasn't changed much. I cut off a bit more weight and removed the homing block. This homing block will now be a separate part incorporated into the actual robot design rather than on each leg itself. The approach that...

Stage 4 - Delta robot
Log from [2018]Multipurpose modular haptic control
In this stage, we'll see the mechanical, mathematics and coding aspects of a delta robot that is used as a haptic device for a finger. The main goal is that the mobile platform of this robot move a tiny half sphere to simulate the touch of some virtual...

Juggling Robot Design #1
Log from Juggling Robot
Here is my first arm design created on tinkercad. The slot is for a square nut to hold a screw that held the arm onto the stepper motor shaft.I built a wooden frame to use a a ramp to roll the balls on, and mounted the motor, motor driver, and arduino...

Robot ventures far, far, away
Log from Robot Missions
With some new improvements on the power supply and drive system, we wanted to see how far Bowie can go. We packed up the robot and headed to a park with an open field, which is a great place to test out manual, compass, and eventually more GPS driving.ManualWe...

3. Fundamentals of Hexapod Robot
Log from Hexapod Modelling, Path Planning and Control
In this chapter, the fundamental concepts of hexapod robots such as walking gaits, stability, kinematics and dynamics are covered which are essential to obtain a better understanding of the control architecture that is delivered in the next chapter....

Part 4: Insulating the bottom of the robot body
Log from Beer Butler Robot, Refrigerator on a Roomba
A square hole was cut through for the heat sink to pass through the TEC Peltier.Next I foam sealed the bottom.It made a big mess, I will clean out a hole and then find a way to cleanly cut the excess out in sections. I will do this with a filet knife....

A robot has the right to bear arms
Log from Retro Robot Restomod
Today I finally got a chance for some quality time with the Dremel. I have decided to drive the arms directly with small 9g servos. This meant removing the square bar that connected them and carefully chopping away various protrusions, including the...

Robot construction, a bunch of 6: Part 1.
Log from Micro Robots for Education
We have had one robot working for a little while now, responding to manual remote control commands, the next step is to have something a little more 'swarm like''. 6 more robots is our target, and this log will show and describe the process of assembling...

Robot construction, a bunch of 6: Part 2.
Log from Micro Robots for Education
Hello, The last part went (rather quickly, see here for a longer version) over the soldering procedure for the SMD parts. Here I will present some of the steps to finish the robots. You may have notice that there was a component missing from the previous...

Example Processing
Log from Low-Cost Robot Vision Module
You can process the image with the program you prefer, in our case we prepare a simple example that allows us to move our little robot to follow the faces. Processing recognizes faces with the OCV library. When it detects a face, it draws a blue square...

1: Virtual prototyping
Log from AMP Robot - Assistive Mobile Power Robot
To ensure the feasibility of my project before diving into physical prototyping, I decided to explore a virtual approach. My goal was to assess whether the system could be operational without the need for an actual prototype. To begin, I employed PolyCam...

Project Goals
Log from Open Autonomous Domestic Robots
Rather than diving head first into this project without a plan, I've taken the time to outline some goals that will help guide the design of the robot vacuum's first revision. They're listed below, categorized by their relative importance, along with...

Updated Design with Grips
Log from Strong Arm
The grips are based on 3/4" aluminum square tubes. The predicted squeeze strength is around 40 pounds.What about safety? Using PyUltimateRobot (see that Hackaday page), one can limit maximum force of any component of any movement. For example, you can...

Some progress
Log from Skoobot
I made a silly mistake and messed up the switch on the robot pcb. The rework makes the robot look bad, so this is no good for the Kickstarter, so I fixed it and will do a new pcb spin.I have a shout out to PCB Pool, my board manufacturer, about a couple...
