  • Autonomous Navigation

  • PART 1The optical encoder’s disc is made of glass or plastic with transparent and opaque areas. A light source and photodetector array read the optical pattern which results in a square wave signal. The rising and/or falling edge of the sensor square...
  • Making the chest screen and controls

  • Remember the square hole in the Kib's modified body? I wanted to add some nice and cool screen at the robot chest, I used a module called WeBeatOs, this module has an Oled creen with 96 x 64 pixels and a mp3 player inside This module has 2 purposes:...
  • Mrs. Claus Smiling

  • "Mrs. Claus Smiling" is an easy to build interactive piece--you smile at her, she smiles back, even through a glass window. The Google AIY vision kit does the hard work.When you assemble the Google AIY vision kit, the default software is a "joy detector."...
  • Navigation Chassis v0.1

  • After tons of design work and hours of printing, the prototype for the navigation chassis is done! This is by no means meant to be a final version, but rather will serve as a prototyping platform to start work on the electronics and software for the...
  • On Modularity, Part 2

  • While I've been working primarily on the vacuum component of OpenADR, my eventual goal is for this to be just one of several, interchangeable modules that the robot can operate with. By making the whole thing modular, I can experiment with a range of...

  • ROS Notes: Map Resolution

  • Now that I’m driving Phoebe around and mapping my house, I’m starting to get some first-hand experience with robotic mapping. One of the most fascinating bits of revelation concerns map resolution. When a robot launches the Gmapping module, one...
  • Walt Arduino Robot

  • Introduction: The idea evolved as we went along, but what first gave me the idea was a video we saw. They had put a robot frame that could move around and dance inside a stuffed monkey animal, and made the robot frame move around, so it looked like it...
